Teenage son pushing boundaries

My son has stole, lied and even stayed out one night this without permission (not the first time!). He is manipulating me in a way that I do actually feel bad for confiscating his phone & Xbox (which I am not giving back until improvements from him…am I bad?) He almost had a fight with his dad the other evening 😱 which frightened the hell out of me. I was stuck between them, my husband has apologised and explained a few things to him but there is still a very nasty atmosphere around the house. It was wrong for my husband to lose his temper but my son was ready for a fight, it’s so upsetting and I don’t know where or how to move on as we're just going around in circles 😔

I hear you're pain OP
Giving tough love hurts like hell it's cruelly kind to you both
I'm almost out the other side and he's 25 now
I was a single parent and had to focus really hard it caused mayhem and broke up a very long term relationship I was in (rightly so)
You and OP need to pull together really tight I wish you peace 💐
