My son, he was lovely and then teenage hit him. I thought I was being understanding but with boundaries and consequences and we were going through it so to speak. We had the various ups and downs that goes with teens, but nothing really major.
Obviously not, he wrote a letter and it is one of those ranty sweary name calling threatening letters that should never have been read by the one it was aimed at, but he left it on the landing for me to read before I went to bed and now I can't move on from what he said in it.
I have been in tears and close to tears for days and I can't even look at him.
I am so sad and ashamed and it's all I can think about.
So how can I move on?

I don't know the ins and out of everything here for you, but I too would feel really hurt if I found a letter like that wrote by son. But again he is going through so many changes ect it may be a way he lets out his anger, which to me is better than punching someone.

I think I would just communicate to him how hurt you feel and you don't want to find another letter around like that again. Your not a bad mother for not allowing him to do those things that makes you a good Mum. good luck
