My toddler turned into an absolute dick

There’s no other way to put it. I am so fucking miserable. He is just 3 last week and for the last 3 weeks he’s turned into a complete dick. He was never like this before.

I thought it was illness at first like a virus. It’s clearly not. He is honestly awful. I know he’s just a child and I’m the adult but how the fuck am I supposed to handle this? I have zero support from his awful father who sees him once a week and have a very full on job.

I am so so so unhappy and don’t know how to help him. He lies on the floor screaming for what seems like an hour but more like 30 mins.

3 is so much worse than the "terrible two's". It will pass, this is not his personality forever, just a phase. It is extremely trying though and normal to have many moments in which you don't like them very much!
