Hello!! just wondering if anyone can help me?? I have 4 children ages 15, 13,11,and almost 9. me and ex and I split about 18 months ago and the children have obviously had a lot of adjustments. The kids all seemed to be doing okey, they go to their dad every other weekend and recently my 13 year old has been going out and staying mid week also which is fine. Anyway!... sorry I am rambling . my eldest son just now seems to be extremely moody and not wanting to really spend any time with me. will take himself off to my ex In laws and then his dad phones to tell me hes staying there. when he is at home spends a lot of time in his room a, grunts at me etc..... does anyone else have this issues with there sons? my daughter at 13 gets grumpy and can be a complete diva and we have our moments but generally that's them over and done with right away!! I am feeling at my wits end cause I'm unsure if its me that he has the issue with (even though he tells me its not) Please anyone help lol

Hi Dizzie, I probably can't help much but I feel your pain.
I've been divorced a few years now and my 3 DC are 18, 16 and 13. They all deal with their problems in different ways. Some shut themselves away and others shout and scream.

You don't think your DS13 is blaming you for the split is he?

It crossed my mind that he may be blaming you for the split too. Can you ever get any time alone with him to talk things through?
