11yo Ds violent towards me

Flufferblub · 17/05/2023 07:40

Ds has SEN, and I have disabilities also. I have a medical condition where I can not speak or move. I am here as a single parent. DS is much younger in his development and manner. He has incontinence, and tantrums like a much younger child. The problem is that he is growing physically bigger and stronger than me, and he knows it. I'm ashamed to say that I'm actually scared of my 11yo Ds. I tense up when he's around. The only thing that stops him is if someone else is here, like my older ds or my mum. Has any one else please been through this? I'm genuinely afraid that he's going to push me down the stairs or smother me with a pillow if he has a tantrum and doesn't get his way.

Oh @Flufferblub that sounds really difficult abs I don't know what the answer is.

Have you spoken to his SW?

Yes, she is visiting us at home tomorrow. I've self referred to a charity now as well. I just wondered if any one was going through something similar

This school have called me this morning, and I feel horrible reporting him to the authorities, but it seems necessary to prevent things from getting any worse. I'd rather help him now, than him grow up thinking that this is acceptable.

Please don't feel bad, you are absolutely doing the right thing, you are getting your ds the right support but thinking of your protection, don't ever feel horrible about being a loving parent I have a 14 year old ds who is autistic and has global delay, he throws things and gets frustrated but if that increased I would do exactly the same as you.

Hopefully he will get the support he needs and you will be able to feel safe good luck

I read this. I hope you're OK.what happened?

Is there a way to communicate between you? PECS? Are his meltdowns based on communication difficulties? Could something be done about that aspect?

It all sounds incredibly tough, I’m so sorry you are experiencing this and definitely agree with the PP re social services. This cannot continue, it is much too high risk for you both.
