You son has learned he can twist your round his finger by doing what he does. My guess would be that when he abuses you, you try to talk him out of being abusive. He understands very, very well that his words put you under stress. What you must do is stop his ploy from working. Now, he gets much more reward for abusing you than from obeying you. Reverse that and he'll change. You may need some help because you may not understand what you are doing.
