Hi I’m not sure if this is the right place to post, but I’d love some advice or help please. My son is 14 and has had suicidal thoughts for a couple of years now. He is an amazing boy, so much personality and knowledge and passion, but fails to see it in himself. He really lacks self confidence and actually hates himself. And he hates his life. I separated from him dad about 6 years ago and obviously that has been a struggle for him. I have always had a good relationship with my boys, but He’s now gotten to a stage where he says he hates me. He blames me for a lot of things but never actually pinpoints what it is that he hates about me, so I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. He has big anger issues and when he gets frustrated by things then he ‘flips out’- gets very angry, aggressive, trashes my house, smashes things up, hits out and me, his younger brother and our dog. This is turn makes him hate himself more as he knows how wrong it is and hates that element of himself. His younger brother (10) is now really feeling the effects of his temperament now, and hates being on the receiving end of it and that it makes our lives so difficult. I constantly blame myself for how he is, and that somehow this must stem from my parenting. I feel like a failure that I can’t make my own son happy in his life. I would just really appreciate any words from anyone with how I can deal with this and start to take it all away for him? Many thanks. ... View more
