[quote=Anonymous]My son was pretty terrible to me for awhile in HS. I definitely think it was partly “shitting the nest” as a PP described above. But, it was also partially a mood disorder aspect of ADHD (meds helped) and was encouraged by an abusive girlfriend who was trying to isolate him from family. At a certain point, I had to verbally draw boundaries and essentially say, “you can dislike me, and I acknowledge I can be wrong. Constructive criticism is OK but nastiness is not. I treat you with respect and never yell or name call you even when we disagree and I have a right to the same from you.” That seemed to make him pause a bit. ultimately, after a couple years (when in college) he reverted to his lovely self. It was a painful time for me. [/quote]
