Struggling with my 13 year old’s verbal abuse and increasing aggression

Hopefully I’ve posted in the correct forum. I feel like I’m failing big time as a Mother, my 13 year old, who is waiting to be assessed is constantly telling me, I’m fat, stupid, horrible and that he hates me, calling me the most awful names. He doesn’t have anything nice to say to me at all. I try to do my best with him and give him what he asks for the majority of the time to make him be nicer, but it doesn’t seem to work at all. I even asked him tonight, am I really that bad and he said yes and that he wants to live with a different family. Please help as it’s breaking me as a person, it’s been going on for just under 2 years this bad but started 6 years ago. He’s a tall and strong lad for his age and when he gets angry at me, im scared to walk past him as he can get violent

You aren’t failing.

You might find a non-violent resistance course helpful. Also, the Declarative Language Handbook and the Explosive Child book.

What support is DS receiving?

Does he have an EHCP?
