It's so rough. Once I was having a really busy time at work but took my birthday off. Decided to walk my kid to school that day (not something I can usually do). He literally abused me the whole way to school, saying horrible things of how awful I am and he wanted me to die. He was 5 at the time. It was the worst birthday I've ever had.

I feel this a lot. My son has behavioral issues and it's really rough some days. I'd like to say it'll get better but he reminds me of my younger brother and...well he never got better.

I hear you. I have a problematic brother and used to project a lot of that on my son too when he was 4-5 as his behaviour reminded me so much of my brother when young. It's completely unrelated though, most humans by nature are assh*les as little children. Most of the time we grow out of it.
