Is your sons dad in his life? If he is you should have him speak to him. If not you have to stand up to your son and tell him that behavior is not acceptable and punish him. Do not let him get away with that. Does he have any issues with behavior in the past? He is still a child at 11 yrs old. Your mother had no right to tell you that , your not a failure but you do have to get tough with him. Maybe he needs to get some counseling sounds like he has issues and needs to speak to someone. Good luck , I will say a prayer for you...
