90. Lessons from this.

MarianJack,

I think there's one thing you need to focus on. If you give in to your son's demand (and it is a demand), you will be teaching him several lessons.

You'll be teaching him to give in to the schoolyard bully mentality.

You'll be teaching him that he can boss you around, and manipulate you by making you feel guilty.

You'll be tacitly agreeing that you are an object of shame, and that you should hide yourself.

There are other points I could list, but they stem from these three major ones. Having been through something similar, my heart goes out to you. Best wishes tomorrow. Read and be proud.
