Is BP the root to all evil?

I have to ask myself is BP the root to all evil? I'm a woman, mother, divorcee, wife,worker,friend ,sister,daughter,tutor,accountant,chef,maid and still trying to be myself. And have my own idenity. I feel lost inside of myself sometimes and don't know why? I feel like I'm in a vortez, trying to climb my way up and out. I can get mad or depressed about one thing and it's sprails out of control. It takes Jesus to help me out of my funk. My 16 yr old worked my nerves the other day on his b-day and it made me mad. Because he wants the world, I wouldn't mind giving it to him, if I had it!!!!! I was happy all day at work and glad to have done a nice thing for him - pierce his ears, but he made that turn into nothing real quick. So question:   As parents (single especially) should allow out children dictate our moods and the rest of the family? I feel myself being mad at my other children as well. I feel pitiful and full of hate, yes hate because the more I try the more I get pull back under. I don't make alot of money anymore and Bdays will have to be what they can. All of this over a birthday, and all he wanted was his ears pierced. I do have other things I could spend my money on believe me.
