I won’t be dropping him off in the mornings anymore (if he stays home for college), he can take the bus or whatever.

I mean, you do realize a lot of this is your fault. Why are you always asking what he wants for dinner? You make what you make and that's that. When you completely take control (telling him what to do, telling him what to pack) of course he doesn't learn how to be responsible. You're not giving him a chance. You can't be mad at him or hold it against him that YOU chose to drive him everyday. If you didn't want to, you could have told him to take the bus. I'm sure he's ungrateful and I can understand being annoyed about it. But you created the issue and it's not fair to take it out on him.

Wow, as a person who was a difficult child and has an estranged relationship with my mother . Most of these people are being ridiculously judgmental. OP didn’t stop being human or having human emotions when she became a mother and is clearly burnt out. I don’t think she actually hates her daughter but she is burnt out and stressed and fed up . Children need to learn that their parents are not punching bags that they can treat however they want. I hope the OP can find peace and hasn’t taken all of this criticism to heart.

But you're running the risk of blaming your daughter for your illness, and that's neither fair nor something you can take back from her anxious heart. She's testing the waters at becoming an adult and needs you to be strong. The best thing you can do for her is to take better care of yourself by getting some therapy (therapists are especially good with complex emotional situations). You owe yourself peace, but aim higher - you and your family are worth it!

Yup! (barf)
