Frustrated With My Kid...

Feeling tired and abused by my kid. I got screamed at by my crazy emotional unstable 17 year old. He called a F-ing whore and a stupid b*tch because I said no to his asking me to sign him up for the SAT exam. I told him that I will not pay for it because he doesn't have a good or high enough GPA or the minimum qualifications to get into a CSU or a UC college. He ruined his chances by not getting good grades during his junior year in high school.

I paid the $50 for his practice SATs and he scored below average on everything and told me that he didn't try at all. I paid the fee and he didn't even try at all!! How many parents wouldn't be pissed off at that??

I am a single parent raising my son by myself financially and physically. I pay all his medical bill, all his extra-curricular activities, his clothing, his shoes, his food, his entertainement, food for his friends when they come over, and everything else that you could think of, yet he thinks he takes care of himself because he throws his food into the microwave to warm it up. He never stops to think about who is the one who prepared to food for him to eat.

He is so warped in his thinking that he thinks that it is unfair for me to request that he clean up after himself afeter he eats or does anything. He thinks he should be able to order me around and tell me when and what I will do for him and he thinks that he can make me do what he wants through intimidation tactics.

He makes me want to just give up sometimes and sit down and drown in my sorrows. I am frustrated and angry at him for his disrespect and ill-behavior. I wish that something drastic would happen in his life to make him realize that he should repsect others and not be so violent and abusive.

I keep telling him how he treats me he is going to treat his significant other in his life the same way and I feel sorry for anyone who he gets involved with because he is going to be abusive towards them and they don't deserve to be treated that way, I would know, because I am experiencing it right now. He says I am stupid and don't know what I am talking about, he says he would never treat anyone else the way that he treats me. It is just a matter of time, because I never thought that he would treat my parents that way either, but he does.
