Hello wanda, and welcome! Smile

Firstly let me assure you that my youngest son was embarrassed to be seen with me, too, and I do not have a disability. Even if we were Cheryl Cole and Tulisa, our teenagers would still be embarrassed to be seen with us. It's just because we are their parents. One time, my teen stayed on the bus rather than get off the same stop as me!!!! he is 18 now and fine with me.

I am concerned that he is aggessive towards you, this definitely needs sorting out. Does he have to help out a lot at home? Sometimes even if teens help only a tiny bit then they can convince themselves they are very hard done to. However, if you are stuggling with health issues, then maybe there is a Young Carer group locally that he could join?

Could you give me some examples of his rudeness and aggression and I will give you some suggestions for dealing with it?
