I'd love to hear from you and connect. Send me a text. Let's chat. YOU MATTER
Although this is NOT the episode I thought I would start with-- here it is:
Adolescent abuse towards parents is real. It can continue. It needs to stop.
You are NOT alone.
This is a partial telling of my own experience with Adolescent to Parent abuse.
Of all domestic violence types-- when children, adolescents or adult kids abuse their parents--- THAT is the least reported.
Videos about this are almost impossible to find on YouTube until it gets to the point of videos covering when the child has already killed the parent....those - I could find. Other than that, almost all the videos are about intimate partner abuse or child abuse at the parents hands towards the kids.
My son was diagnosed as AHHD, Opposition defiant, Intermittent Explosive Temperament Disorder by 10 .....and by 12 he was diagnosed (3x by 3 different doctors in 3 different hospitals while in states care for two years) as anti-social personality disorder with sociopathic tendencies.
He told me when he was 21 that he didn't act out because of mental issues. He said "I just like to get into trouble. I liked acting like that. I liked how it made me feel."
If you have been hit by your son or daughter
If you have been bullied, demeaned, threatened, yelled at, financially suffered trying to make it all better... done all you could...
I am here for you.
This is my story (or a very small snippet of part of it).

Just a quick audio describing what we're doing here and ways we can connect.
