son of a bitc h
I would be useful to have the Spanish context.
You have "hijo DE puta" or "hijo 'e puta" (with the "de" in a short form)
OR
you have "puta madre" that is "mother bitch" or something like that.
I could also be, "puta COMMA hijo" but I do not thinks so beacause when you are using this kind of language you do not address to someone as "son" (usually).
Hope it helps!

It probably is as Lydia says. What you have to clarify with context is WHO IS ADRESSING TO WHOM IN THESE TERMS:
Is this a son talking to his mother ? (Lydia's suggestions is better but comma in the original is needed.)
or
Is someone being insulted by someone else? (that is insulting him saying he is a son of a bitch).
