Another huge meltdown by 17 year old. Threatening to trash my home, slamming, throwing, calling all names. This is over something trivial that I am unable to do for him as I have a severe back injury at the minute. He tells me his anger is " here to stay" and he has not " hit me so what is the issue?" He can behave any way he chooses and I am trying to be a feminist, psychologist, counsellor but don't bother as I know f##ck all and make things difficult and try to guilt trip him. He has opened up bottle of alcohol and is merrily drinking it.

I am sat here sobbing. I have nobody. I have tried for years. I honestly don't want to be here.

Some good advice here, this goes beyond normal teenage acting out. The weed and the drinking probably don't help. So sorry you're going through this but you need professional help before he completely destroys both of your lives.

Please accept an un mumsnetty hug from me 💐

Actually, it is covered by WomensAid under “other family members” www.womensaid.org.uk/information-support/what-is-domestic-abuse/

And they have now chat facility so you can talk to them online.
