I’ve never had any real trouble from my 15 year old son until very recently when he became ridiculously argumentative, aggressive and blatantly defiant. He bullies other kids, has been in fights and tried to set the school bus seat on fire. About three weeks ago, he was physically threatening ME, literally up in my face screaming at me, asking what are you going to do, hit me??

I didn’t hit him, but reached out and grabbed him by the neck and held him still and yelled at him to calm down.

He immediately went into a screaming fit that I was choking him and he couldn’t breathe.

The next day after I dropped him at school, he turned me in for abuse and has been removed from our home. Please note, when I dropped him off, he had no “marks” on his neck. He told me he would be getting into another fight at school, and he did.

Now, after 15 years of raising my son, I’m being told to attend “anger management” classes and parenting classes.
