I can't do this anymore

[Mummyof3helpme]

My eldest son is on the pathway to being assessed for ADHD his behaviour is so bad at the moment hitting me spitting screaming being disobedient WILL NOT do anything I ask, says he doesn't have to be has his own mind it's not up to me what he does (he's 8) hits his younger siblings, smashes the house up, I dread waking up on a morning because I know the nightmare day is about to begin and I am living in absolute hell, I am feeling so suicidal over this not just this week but in the past too, I just don't know what to do anymore I have no one to talk to as my family are not very supportive and don't give me a break as they can't handle his behaviour

I'm so sorry @Mummyof3helpme, that sounds really hard to deal with.

Has anyone suggested reading The Explosive Child?

Have you found the SN section yet? Some MNers in there might have experience and be able to offer some support and advice

im so sorry your dealing with this, I have no experience unfortunately, however I can relate to feeling like your living in hell and dreading the next day before the current one is even over. All I can say is, your not alone, easier said than done but try and take things 1 day at a time, don’t even think of tomorrow today, just survive today. I have found that doing 1 thing for myself a day has helped my mindset a little, so when lo is in bed, I have done some meditation /guided relaxation or even just ate some chocolate with a face mask on. There are also helplines available through family action which are great when your feeling alone and need somebody, is there any support for you attached to your sons pathway? Usually they will have carer/family support available, have you considered speaking to your GP?

@Mummyof3helpme I have just seen this and could have written your post. How are they in school? Totally understand how bleak abd miserable it is.
