[quote=Anonymous]I have no idea what to do about it.  For years, I helped with school, socializing,doctors, etc. Often, he is a nice kid to me as well, but never to his younger teen sister.  He treats her with hate and he puts me down.  I work now and have worked on and off and off due to having to be there for him, and even that he uses as some sexist crap that since Dad makes most of the money Dad decides. I know  that this is anxiety related as he only feels comfortable with me and her, but I am fed up and at the end of my rope. He actually likes to stir trouble for me. Everybody else think he is an angel, due to his social anxiety and while I an adult and shouldn't lose my temper, I am sorry to say I did lose my temper yesterday. I would say that he did much to cause it, think complete teenage jerk with profanities etc., but I should have handled it better. I haven't done this other than one time last year, and he deserved it as he almost attacked his sister, but apart from these two instances I have not lost my temper for years and years. I am wondering now if I should have been strict regardless or his anxiety(and it is severe) rather than justifying it and doing everything for him that he couldn't. Opinions are welcome, but I know this is just an outlet to me to, as I really don't have anybody to talk to about this.  DH is overseas and DS acts like the best kid with him, just so humble and nice, that while DH knows about these issues, he never sees them so his perspective is usually that I should know DS is not ok and diffuse situation. Thanks for listening.[/quote]
