Totally Frustrated

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Well here I am today frustrated to all ends. My son is driving me up the wall and we are on the express lane. My son's body has been taken over by a stranger and I want him back. The child that I am trying to raise right now is not who my son is... my son is well mannered and well behaved amongst other things. This child now does everything to push my buttons.... everything from flat out telling me no when I ask him to do something to flat out lying to me when he knows that he is going to get in trouble. You may think that he is only 5 and it will change... but what about my sanity until then? As his only parent who has to play the role of mother and father is it not my sole job to teach him what he is doing is unacceptable? Am I not supposed to do everything that I can to correct this behaviour to help shape the kind of man that he is going to grow up to be? Well I am at a loss as to how I am to do this. If there is a manual out there somewhere I would like to see it so that I can put an end to this and let us get back to our happy lives.
I don't want to fight all the time any more, I want to be able to talk to my child without worrying about what the outcome is going to be... is he going to listen or is he going to freak. I try to talk our problems out with him but I don't think it is really working. I am at my wits end and I dont know where to go... if this doesnt change soon I might end up breaking down and then what good am I to my son... it just seems like it is a no win situation right now.
