Suffering from depression, teenager getting on my nerves daily?

Question

He seriously needs a boot camp job or else I've reached the end of my tether! I have got to get better for my 2 other children....what would you do? Where? How?

Answer 1

Send him to his Dad's house.. Or another relative. Sometimes change is good for everyone. Boot camp is fine if it is available in your area, or if you can make it possible. You need time to collect your thoughts and calm down, get a bit of peace, then go to counsiling together and deal with these issues.

DON"T JUST PACK UP AND SEND IT OUT THE DOOR!! For petes sake! This is a child still.... Pack him up yes, and send him out for help. People are to quick to throw in the towel. If boot camp is available, then go for it. It is when you do nothing, and give up, is only when you have failed.

Sounds like there is more to this situation that meats the eye. Depression is something that you need to address with, along with his anger..or whatever else..

My mother never gave up on me when I was a teenager. Not only was I uncontrollable, I drank, and used drugs. Little did she know that I was molested as a child, and did not know how to face it. I dealt with it alone for many years, but when I became a teenager, I did not know how to manage my anger.

My mother could have thrown me out, and probably should have. I am glad she didn't. You don't know what goes through a teens mind........Until you take the time to find out.....and as long as it takes.....

Answer 2

Why are you depressed? Seek professional help, for the short term some meds can help you short term
But try to find out what is causing hte depression and

Take a break once a day for yourself. You probably have given too much of yourself. you are like a bank account if you only make withdrawels and no deposits you end up overdrawn and depressed.
Tell the kids they have to manage and this is Mom/Dad time one hour a day just for you. Noone can bug you and go away even if it is just to a park to read or something. I know that is hard to do I am a mom too but if you are done with the whole engine of you house will stop.

Answer 3

Firstly get the support YOU need. Do not be afraid to ask for help. See your doctor about your depression and get urgent treatment.When you are in a different place you will feel better about your child.
Parenting is a tough job but your child needs you. Speak to his school, phone Parentline if you live in the UK(the number is in the yellow pages) or ask your doctor for a referral to your local CAHMS (Child and adolescent mental health service) they can offer trained support to your whole family. Asking for help on Yahoo shows you are a good parent who has taken the first step to put things right.
I too am a single parent with a mental illness, it is only now I am beginning to recover that I realise how tough it has been for my son. Look after yourself and be there for your children, you are all they have and they need you
take care

Answer 4

I think I would need a little more info on what your child is doing before I would recommend a boot camp there are childrens programs and other camps and all kinds of things to get kids that have behavioral problems before I would get ready to just "ship them out " to "boot camp"

Answer 6

I raised 3 daughters. So, hold on, don't give up. It will pass. He needs a job, something to help you and himself out. If he is getting in trouble with the law, then you can get him sent to bootcamp. I know alot of singlemoms and dads. You need a support group, but if you don't want anybody in your business, then your going to have give him tuff love.

Answer 7

Have you ever wondered that it could be you thats causing your teenager to be obnoxious? Perhaps your depression isnt exactly the most stable situation to bring up your children.
If I were you, I would involve your son in your health probs a little, explain why your upset one day and happy the next. Maybe he wants to help you, help yourself.
Alternatively, send him on an adventurous wknd, helps build self esteem and belief in ones self.

Answer 8

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

Answer 9

How old is he?
Can't you get a relative to have him for a bit?

Get him to join the armed forces if he's old enough.
Sorry you're having a tough time.....
