Verbal attack/abuse

[SockeyeNW]

What if a teen aged son calls his mother COUNT, BITCH, F*YOU, when his mother was irritated and hurt to an extend that she starts to scream and shout after failing to stop her son using these abusive rude words? Her son simply commented she was over reacting, his teacher never shout simply saying "mind your words". The mother uses "mind your words" later but son's verbal attack and abuse continue. From son's perspective, it is always his mother's fault, over reacting. What can this poor mother do? It is like living in a hell when she suffers disrespect from her own son frequently?

If I was the mother I would be removing everything but the absolute basics and telling him that to speak to me like that is unacceptable.

So, food and essentials but he could kiss goodbye to anything like lifts, pocket money or luxuries and he could sit in his room and have a think about his choices!

I know it's hard but try not to yell. If you can keep calm, repeat that being abusive towards you is unacceptable and focus on consequences.

For me it would depend on why the situation escalated to the F Us and Cs etc. Is DS acting out because he’s not being listened to?
