He fights me over everything.

Going to school, going to the bathroom, going to the store, putting on a shirt, pjs eating dinner. If he doesn’t wanna do something he’s so stubborn and throws crazy fits

He will not take no for an answer. If I say no snack no iPad no outside. He loses it. And I don’t give in to him.

Tried getting on his level talking to him, tried breathing techniques, tried time outs. I’ve tried so much I don’t even remember what I’ve tried but I’m feeling lost.

I tell him to look me in the eyes and he looks all around and can’t focus on what I’m saying to him. And when I try to explain what he does wrong he goes huh what huh what So I make him repeat what I say and try to tell him hitting me and screaming at me is not nice.

He says sorry after all these fits. But he still throws them like crazy.

I’m a single mom, his dad and I got divorced and he just didn’t feel like being part of his sons like anymore, so I’m doing this alone and I’m feeling sad, lonely, and like a failure I don’t know what to do anymore.

I can just use some advice and support please. No negative comments I’m trying really hard here
