Hello all,
1st time i have ever taken to a site like this, just wanted to see what others do in this type of situation 😓
Where to start....My son is 10 years old. For a few years now his behavior has been getting a lot worse. I don't think i have handled things very well, kept sweeping things under the carpet thinking it was his age, the fact that his father left when he was 5 basiclly using every excuse under the sun for his behavour. He has tantrums like a todler, he consistanty says mam, mam, mam over and over again to get my attention, he does not take no for an answer, he throws things at me calls me names screems at my partner tells him to move out and also phyicaly attacks his sister. He will apolagise for his behaviour but repeat his actions sometimes minute after he has apologised. School picked up on his behaviour nearly a year ago he is on the waiting list for ADHD.They asked numerous times if i wanted a referral putting in for the early years support ect. i refused as I felt like I was failing as a parent. It seems all this bad behavior is taking over any nice times we have.
I feel My mental health has taken a massive hit from this, i feel like I don't know where to turn to. I do have a good family unit but lost my mum 2 years ago she was a massive support for me with the children.
Reading this back i feel awful writing this about my son. I just dont know what to do anymore
