Relationship with teenage son going from bad to worse...?
What should I do? My son of 15, is increasingly disrespectful and negative about everything in life. This has been the situation for everything. He believes I am a crapy mother and make his life sucky.
His father (we were never married) still sees him regularly and is a very poor role model as a man. He has 4 different children by 4 different mothers, and I always unemployed and takes no responsibility for the child except visitation.
I do not know what to do. Honestly is is hard enough as it is being a single mother without his mouth and argumentative attitude all the time. I am to the point where it is painful for me to be around him, but yet I feel guilty if I do not. When he is with me for the weekend, I do not want to be around. Even thought his father is the way he is, I have told him to feel free and pack up and go with his father. I know his father would take him because he knows that although he never paid a dime for child support, he can get the financial support from me.
My relationship with my son is not good, and unfortunately I do not have any men to turn to. What should I do?
