I think my Imran might be in secret communication with your Tariq. He hits, pulls hair, screams, kicks and bites when he doesn't get his own way.
It's really hard not too lash out in return especially when you've got tooth marks that will last for days.
I think that you need to try and make sure you get a break every now and then to unwind and relax. Do you get a chance to sleep in every now and then so you can refresh a bit?
I'm no Dr Sears but since you say you've tried lots of things I'm wondering if maybe that's why nothing's working. I've no idea of the time-frames involved but I'm thinking that maybe you could pick a method and stick with it for 2 weeks. Consistency is important and often a discipline technique can take some time to show results.
Also are you 'catching him being good'? When he is kind and gentle and affectionate make a big deal of it and tell him what it is that you like. Don't just say 'good boy' say 'good boy, I really like it when you hug Mummy/do what you're asked/touch gently".
If he's getting lots of attention for good behaviour he's more likely to repeat it.
You're not evil - we all struggle with our parenting sometimes.
