Am I going to let loose into the world a young man who is disrespectful, arrogant, and narcissistic? I've spent the last 14 years nurturing him and truly loving him, and telling him so. I've read Mnet, books and articles on child rearing, I've tried to do all the right things yet I have a child with the above traits.
In his defence, his father has been useless and this will have had a huge impact on him.
To keep this short, do you just keep battling with
? him being rude at school
? not working at school, and not wanting to attend at all
? general lack of respect
? narcissistic behaviour
Do they grow out of this, should I just battle on?
Or do I seek professional help, before things become irreversible. I was an only child, I'm not used to confrontation with parents.
Where do you start when seeking outside help?
