    I've been dealing with so much hurt and pain from my son. I always believed him when he apologized and said he would change because I loved him. I wouldn't think twice. Over and over, when he would apologize for calling me fat bitches, whores, saying he would hit me, etc. I would never question it I would believe it was a new start only to be abused again. I was always worried about his well being because he didn't make good choices and he refused to treat his mental illness. I was deathly afraid that if I died he would be left here with no family and homeless living like people who roam around unclean talking to themselves. I kept offering help, giving him money, etc. I always believed he would get better stop treating me like shit but it got worst to the point where I was afraid of him. I was always scared he would kill me and his siblings. Nothing I did to motivate him worked. I would sit and dream with him talking about starting his clothing business only to be disappointed and caught off guard when he lashed out because he couldn't get his way. Last week my son was murdered and I believe that God is giving him rest. It's been a life of constant drama and worry being his mom. He's my 1st born, my best friend and I saw him respect his girlfriend(s) and actually turn her against me and she was even disrespecting me. I believe God is just and I'm remaining patient and asking Him to forgive my son and continue to give me ease. My mind is at rest and as crazy as it sounds I feel relief because I don't worry 24/7 that somethings going to happen to him terrible. It was tiring, he's 28. Would've been 29 on October 30. If you happen to read this forgive yourself and put yourself 1st because they will definitely put you last and in the gutter.

    Narcissism is a maladaptive personality temperament. Meaning it destroys others and themselves. It does not benefit. They Inherit it or it's a CPTSD response from child neglect, overt abuse, coddling, or religiosity. Children need to self sooth. The babies that can't stop crying that's them. It's not even a disorder the system is building them. We have a system built on an attention economy and a gr33d for resources. Narcissism is a parasitic desire for resources and attention, its about constant supply, not about mommy or even the tit it's about mommy's milk the attention f33dback loop/fix; nothing else. That process was disturbed. So they cant be individuals and destroy to feel whole. They have psychotic breaks as babies and their hearts collapse Into black holes. Since they never get satiated they become nothjng. Its a black hole without empathy.A narcissit needs to devalu3 ppl around them to be an Individual. They have to drain to become whole. Check out richard grannon and the dual mothership model. We are birthing and building more narcissts because of the neglect lack or resources broken families et. That's why the revolution isn't happening. It's the grandiose trumps of the world and your poor children. Whoever are the maglo narcs with no empathy. I'm so sorry. Sometimes it is not the parents fault. Notice how stealing money and attention to material things a part of the system. The system the matrix is breeding monster ppl. My mom was a narcissist, and I became an empath cause she beat me to serve her you guys are having the opposite experience. I'm so so sorry. That's why I'm on a procreation strike like the 4b movement in korea I'm not taking the chance. Ther3s a high likelihood if I have a kid in this climate they'll probably be psychopaths. Stay strong and leave if you must. I'm so sorry

    No, no, we have been trying for YEARS and NO ONE WILL LISTEN! Our son is now 15 almost 16, and starting in drugs, alcohol and we just got him back from running away for 4 days missing. Had a missing childs report out state wide and everything. Seized his phone, had everything on there about how he was selling drugs, in a gang, threating to murder people etc. All the police said was it was all talk because when they were called to pick him up he had nothing in his possession. He verbally abuses all of us in the home constantly. He has yet to get physically abusive, that is because of my husband by me and our 8 year old daughter. We were told there is nothing we can do but deal w it. He just accused us of being into child pornagraphy the other day, because we placed a camera at the door in his bedroom to be sure he doesn't try to sneak out anymore. We desperately need help, but no one will help us. I just hope one day he doesn't murder all of us. I wish I being dramatic here, but I no longer feel safe in my home.

It is so heart breaking it has come to this to have someone help us. Now our only option is to sign our rights to the state, and pay child support to the state until he is aged out of the system, because we can not provide a safe and stable home due to him refusing to stay at home. It's not right, but if it will keep our son safe we are willing to do and pay whatever necessary. Our only hope is he grows out of this.

    A record? When a guy gets big and starts hurting people, something needs to be done. Not all moms can defend themselves against their own kids or spouses or even parents. My mother in law once broke my glasses when I tried to get her to take a shower after six days of no bathing. My mother couldn't do much but was much heavier so even getting her off the floor was a challenge and she was known for biting at some point. I'm just glad I didn't end up caring for my much heavier Dad. My daughter was always smaller than me but she once kicked me in the stomach when we were sitting down and nearly broke my ribs and once pummeled me with her fists when it was time to leave a friend's house and she was only four at the time. My used to scratch and bite people too and since he was always a big guy, he was able to do a lot of damage if he really wanted to.

    No point reporting or trying to get help. I've had the police on both my 14yr old and 12 year old multiple times. Twice they didn't turn up and my house was being smashed up by them because I'd said no to something, they've threatened violence and to stab each other while the other sleeps..... 3 times the police attended and not once did they arrest any of them. The government has put everything a parent does into catagories... Psychological, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. If you say no to a kid and they cry, you can be reported by schools to social services, I've had it and it's hard. Both my sons are over 6ft even as young as they are. My 14yr old is 17st and my 12yr old is 13st.. Me I'm 5,4 and 8.6st. Ps... I'm also a survivor of serious child abuse by my mum and stepfather but also domestic violence from an ex partner...

    It's not bad parenting, it's a factor of other kids influencing each other to "stand up" to their parents when in fact, they are plain disobeying and doing things they shouldn't. I hear so many people saying, "Where are the parents to make these unruly kids behave and be accountable?" The parents were standing at the door, telling their son or daughter to stop misbehaving and stay home while being shoved away or swung at by the fist of their own child. It's the young people that are teaching other kids that they don't have to listen and they can do what they want. If the parent calls emergency services, they are accused of doing something wrong to the son or daughter. So, we don't want to hear where are the parents because making sons and daughters behave these days, would get the attention of first responders who cater to the children. I was at a loss as what to do. I pray that she takes steps to keep herself safe. I don't know everything that happened to her because she would take off and not tell us where she was but I pray that it has stopped. When things go this way, all parents can do is pray for their childrens' lives. Emergency services should open their eyes and help.

Hitting me with a broom stick, Punch me, Bite me. I did nothing but just take it. Normally when he kicks off and giving problem we tend to shout at each other but tonight nope! Whilst he was trying to suffocate or strangle me i said, "It's ok and I forgive you" Said "The lords prayer" because you never know and plus my depression makes me not want to live anyway! And kind of hoped it would work as a reverse psychology because you never know and it's odd for me or anyone to say that in that situation. However understanding that this is actually pretty common and because social services are involved for like the billionth time! I can only hope he gets the help to control his behaviour - It's definitely not ADHD for sure. All i know I have tried everything to teach him right from wrong! Nothing has worked, Kept on believing i was a failure but I know im not. I like you all commenting with similar experiences, Were all warriors carrying the scars from an enemy within loved and cared for kids that keeps on defeating us.

      I'm so sorry you are going through this, have you tried taking him to a psychologist or a psychiatrist?

      @@baldwin5510 No but hopefully with the help of social services I can try and get him some sort of help. It's heart-breaking, Doing everything you can as a parent and the only thanks you get is having to put up with the abuse they give.

      @@toastedroast it's heartbreaking to hear but I'm sure will get assistance. It's usually a mental and mood problems that causes such behaviors. And drug use is also something to look at.

    This is because cause of very bad parenting and letting the children get away with things like this!! So it's not heartbreaking it's just what the parents get. At times there are points were you have to hurt your child to teach them.

    1 in 5 adults were maltreated in childhood. emotional abuse is the most common for of abuse suffered by kids 9 times out of 10 perpetrators of emotional abuse are the victims parents (mothers more often than fathers) . What is society doing to protect these half a million kids or so from bully parents who give ultimately damage their brains
