Has your child ever feared anyone in your family?

I am faced with a sticky situation. My child has gotten to be deathly afraid of one individual in our family. This person has become verbally-abusive towards him, along with occasional hits and slaps. He feels afraid and doesn't understand why this is happening to him. She tells me that he attacks her and tries to hurt her, which has never been noticed. She gets angry with me because I don't believe her.

I am so confused and concerned. I feel that there is something mentally going on, but I can't just walk up to her and tell her to have an evaluation done.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I feel like I am trapped.

Thank you.

Feelings

Why do my feelings always get hurt? Do I let my guard down too often or am I just a fool? You hurt my feels again and my spirit is crushed... Until the next day... The next time.

Emotional struggle

I am struggling and it bothers me. I am starting to doubt a lot of things. Will my son be okay? Is my mom fit to keep watching him? Is she a part of his behavior? Am I responsible for all this? Is this all my fault, ultimately?

Having a difficult day already

Yesterday was rough - started out bad... anything that could go wrong... DID!

Today is starting out just like yesterday. I am stressed and frustrated.

I failed my college course, so I need to retake it... I absolutely hate economics - I don't understand it... and now I have to retake it! That made my morning even worse than it already was - and I didn't think that was possible.

I need to do something with my life and make my commitments. I feel like I am going in circles and digging myself in a hole.

It's gonna be a long day...

Self-Esteem

Low esteem runs in our family, at least with my son and I My son is taller than most in his class, he wears glasses, he has a slight weight issue... and now we throw in braces. My son is in a spin, not sure what to think or feel. I feel helpless, not sure what to say. Is it bad I feel this way?!
