I feel like throwing in the towel!!!

As a parent, we should want to help our kids succeed and we don’t like to see them struggle but BOY am I ready to just throw in the towel on helping my son anymore.

I love my son, don’t get me wrong but I am at my whits fucking end...

He is a total NIGHTMARE when it comes to doing his math homework. He’s 11, I get it, some kids struggle with math. I did too and still do. I have tried and tried and tried to help him. My SO has spent countless hours helping him. It’s every single day he rushes through his math homework, he knows I’m going to check it and when I try to explain to him that the answers are not correct and try to explain why, he gets angry. He stomps his feet, cries hysterically, bangs his head agains the wall, doors, whatever. Stabs his papers, rips them up. Balls up his fists and goes red in the face.

He refuses to listen to me or anyone else for that matter. Constantly tells me I’m wrong when I’m not. He yells over me, slams doors.

We also have him going through adult & child services to help with his behavior. It’s working at school but the second he gets home, it’s an automatic switch from angel to complete asshole of a child. Some days are better than others but y’all... I’m on the verge of tears because I literally cannot do a damn thing for him. There’s nothing we can say or do to help him understand. We can make him practice and practice and practice, say the same thing over and over and over until we are blue in the face. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m just to the point I want to throw in the towel and let him write down whatever he wants and just fail because I can’t help him if he won’t help himself.

Why does this have to be so hard??!! 😩😭
