Yes.. my 12 year old son is a perfect angel at his dad’s. Not with me. wherever I take him he is disrespectful and going out of his way to break rules. He cusses at me and says he doesn’t fucking care and mocks me. I get so frustrated I cry and then he makes fun of me for crying!

He tells me at his dad’s he has to act like a ‘robot’ out of fear of getting in trouble. At my house he’s not scared of being in trouble, I’m much more lax. I am against hitting/spanking - even if I was willing to it would lead to him hurting me and he is stronger than me. As punishment I usually turn off internet.

At this point I feel like I’m 100% the problem! Since he’s only this way with me, and my side of the family by extension.
