    You sound depressed and stressed out. Take a break. Meditate or get lost in a book. Try to relax and don't let them get to you.

    Good Luck!

    Well my kids have both left home now, both at Uni and we still all manage to remain on good terms. I still see them when I can and am always there for them. I just need to get a life myself now and feel more fulfilled, I think we will become more cose again in time,after all the dust has settled

    I don't mean to sound insensitive, but they're kids! Kids will usually rebel against parents for even the most menial things, but in the end, they will appreciate who raised them. Sounds like you need a vacation as well because you sound extremely burned out.
    Never forget your purpose as to why you give...because deep down inside, they are grateful for everything.

      sure they'll be grateful, but definitely not for everything. There is a point when your kids could lose respect for you, but that's aside from being grateful since you can disrespect someone while still being grateful.

    Also, take the vacation advice! I'm going solo again this year. Just decided for sure after having a major fight with my teenage son on his birthday, of all days! Just tired of being taken for granted and always disrespected, so....he can stay home.

    Yes, I too am a single mom and often feel the same. We fill so many roles that it gets easy to burn out. I have found that saying "no" might get people upset with you for a while, but so be it! Alone time might seem weird to others, but it helps you defrag and get in touch with yourself. Perhaps as you become yourself more and more, then other people who are more compatible with you are drawn to you. We can only hope!

    you sound like you need a break from everyones drama. it's normal to burn out after always giving and giving..take a nice vacation :)
    you've raised your kids to adulthood on your own.you deserve it.

    You sound burnt out and bitter. You don't say what the conflict is that has you and your children despising one another. Is it normal parent-teen conflict, or more than that? Anyway abandoning them won't make it better.

    Try to get some support for yourself.
