I am 5o and have a 27 year old son. He is very aggressive and angry with me all the time. I am not a perfect mother , i have made mistakes , I am divorced. I used to yell sometimes when my kids were young but i did the best i could. My son is so angry with me all the time and says i dont love him. So not true.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
You should consult a psychiatrist.
Here are some tips: Be firm with him. Talk to him and set limits about his behavior. Make it clear what is acceptable behavior as well as speech and what is not. This will benefit him also.
You may also make it clear to him that if he doesn't get treatment from the psychiatrist, you cannot be responsible for him; or continue to support him financially.
Do not let your guilt about real or perceived mistakes make you weak.
If there is a threat of physical violence, you may go to police.
If you seek help from a counsellor, you will get detailed help about how to protect yourself psychologically.
If you are feeling depressed most of the time and on most of the days, you should see a psychiatrist.
I hope this answer is helpful.
