I really don't know what to do.
DS is 10. He is extremely challenging but that's not an excuse for what's happened. I totally lost control tonight and I've hurt him by grabbing him and forcing him into my car. We had pulled over at the side of the road during a huge argument, I was hysterical and crying, he was angry too. I told him to get out. He started walking off. I panicked and called him back. He was rude to me and I just lost the plot and grabbed him and forced him into the car.
He has a huge and awful looking bruise on his arm where I grabbed him. I'm devastated that I've hurt him like this and I just don't feel like I'm the right parent for him anymore. I'm failing him and he's going to end up in a mess and it'll be all my fault. I know if school see this bruise I'll be in huge trouble. Can I self refer to social services? I'm just not coping and I don't want to hurt him again, I'm so ashamed and I just don't know what to do. I feel like everyone would be better off if I just wasn't here.
