He was told to do one of his daily chores and after I discovered he did a half-assed job and left a mess, I made go out and fix it. In the verbal exchange that followed I pushed him because he was taking back to me and he began to "tell me how it was going to be". I put my finger in his chest and pushed him back into a wall. He went and told his mother that I "shoved" him and began to cry. In seeing this my wife began yelling at me saying that I have no right to touch him. Her son is very combative and talks back, has no respect for anyone else and acts like he is "entitled" to all he has or wants. I know that what I did was wrong but he has absolutely NO discipline outside of sending him to his room where he is more than happy to go. He has his own phone, tv, computer and video game players . I'm at the end of my rope and my wife won't go to counseling. I was raised in a strict household with accountability, structure and rules, I feel helpless and am thinking of divorce after 8 yrs!
