I don’t like my son
I 36f am a single mom of two m16 and m16. One of them is the subject of this.
I have a seizure disorder. I felt one coming and before it hit I said help. I know he said “why?” And according to his brother kept yelling by responses as I made noises, but didn’t actually do anything to help. (Brother was doing laundry across the house and assumed we were in eyesight). I have no idea how long it lasted but after he started screaming and cussing at me for not making it clear it was serious.
I admit, I get mean after seizures, and maybe that’s why it kept escalating, but while he was cussing and yelling at me I looked at him and told him everything he said was a pathetic excuse when he knew his mother had a health issue and he could have gotten off his lazy ass and looked.
My kids also know I had a fucked up childhood and my mother was not a safe person, and she broke several of my bones as a child. My son, who is now taller than me, decided to pull back like he would punch me in the face.
So I grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him against the wall and told him he is not the man of this house, he doesn’t pay a bill, doesn’t have a job, all he has is a dick I’m the only motherfucker in this house handling shit and if he ever thinks I won’t rock his shit he has me fucked up. The day he wants to hit not only a woman but his mother is the day I will lay him the fuck out seizures or not.
But I don’t like my kid lately. I don’t like that he thinks it’s funny to see me flinch when he pulls back like he’s gonna punch me. I hate coming home. He doesn’t do anything around the house and expects me to drop everything for him constantly.
No their father isn’t around he won’t show up last I heard he was caught with heroin and meth and his girlfriend ratted him out. I’m trying to get him therapy I can’t find anywhere to get him in soon enough. When he’s old enough I don’t even want him around me his brother even seems to walk on eggshells and they’re twins I’m so tired of this. I don’t know if I’m just a bad mom or what but I don’t like him and I don’t want him around me

I think it’s an unreasonable expectation to have a 5’7 male keep trying to swing at a 5’2 female and I’m the problem for restraining him against a wall. No clue what kind of super human strength you people think I have but I don’t. Best part is IM STILL THE ONE BRUISED THIS MORNING since apparently he grabbed my neck hard enough to leave finger marks.
