Teenage rows. I am so drained

Drained and confused

hei s 15. he has 'autistic processing issues' and 'adhd tendencies'  from a genetic disorder - so they are not constantly the same.

I have a jekyll and hyde and I am exhausted. I am tired of the saame rows about keeping his room tidy - to HELP him with his ORGANISATION. I am tried of nagging about homework - to HELP him keep out of trouble and succeed at school, I am tried of seeing that he doesn't have any friends in school of his own age and many don't like him because he doesn't understand the 'banter' and takes it too far.

I no longer know what to do.

I have sympathised, cajoled, supported, threatened, bribed, ignored (but I struggle to do that for long as I hate watching the consequences) but i am so so so fed up with the rows and being tolf I should just 'ignore it' by him.

When will it end? Am I alone?

  • You're not alone I'm sure. 

    My son was the same in his teans, he's now 28.I would be tearing my haire out trying to get him to do stuff, all I ended up doing was causing him to kick of big time and I'd be in tears and to be blunt he didn't appear to give a toss. You just end up liveing you're life in fear of upsetting them because when they kick of life's hell and you just want peace. I'm sorry I've no advice. You get through it you look back and wonder how. I wish I could say it ends for us it didn't he was just a 6ft 18 stone grown man kicking of instead of a teanager. We're lucky he wanted to move out and he's in supported liveing. After 28 years I think thank god.
