i have one. he is just fourteen and i just don't know where i am with him. it is quite exhausting. on the one hand he is utterly mature, humorous, confident and funny and good natured. on the other he is sullen, miserable argumentative and gives me massive guilt trips. 'j....' i say, 'why are you speaking to your little sister like that?' 'well obviously i am speaking to her like that cause someone has spoken to me like that' (harshly/ loud/ angry) GUILT guilt guilt.....
if i say i am concerned about his behaviour that means i am calling him a 'retard'. i refered to the film Kevin and perry to my mum during one heated exchange- he mistakes this fort the film about the psycho kid 'we need to talk about Kevin' and assumes i assume that i think he is a psycho.
i can't get it right. i am crap at being a parent. i thought being a mum at just turned twenty was hard. being a mum to a teenager now is even harder.
