Sat last night and managed to talk with my DS, something I don't get to do very often. DS has been quite angry lately and I wanted to find out the reason, when he said that he no longer felt part of the family and that he wasn't wanted it almost broke my heart. They said that they feel both me and my DH no longer were interested in them and by staying in their room was doing us a big favour. I have always tried to give my time to my kids but it's difficult at times as my DH seems to resent the time I spend with them, DS said that he feels that DH doesn't want anyone to share my time only him and when DS tries to talk with me about something the DH starts a conversation over the top of him. If I say anything to DH about what has been said then they will see that the problem is the DS and they are not at fault. Just want my DS to feel that they're always wanted and loved
