I'm not sure how alarmed I should be about this. This evening my 11yo ds has told me he hates me and would rather commit suicide than live with me.
Back story is that there is no back story other than ds has got a chip on his shoulder, we are a normal family, he has a stable life, a nice home, everything he needs, we're comfortable financially, he gets to do all the clubs and sports that he wants, I work part time I'm always there for him, we do nice things together, we have our ups and downs like any family but I don't think he has a bad life by any means.
It all kicked off this evening because ds hadn't done his homework. He doesn't get loads just a small piece each evening. Long and short of it is I haven't let him go to his hobby this evening because he's spent all afternoon messing around when he should have been doing his homework. He's had ample time, he's done nothing but be cheeky, sneak his phone back after I'd taken it off him, he'd had warnings. He just takes the piss.
When he realised I meant what I was saying he got hysterical and screamed that he hated me and he'd rather commit suicide than live here with me.
Apparently everything is against him (not true) and his life is trash. I'm also evil for taking things off him that he's paid for with his own money.
I'm literally at the end of my tether with his attitude towards me, everything is an argument and a battle. Now he's said this I don't know if I should seek help.
