Hi everyone. This is my first post so I'm sorry if I've posted in the wrong forum but recently I've been slightly concerned with my son's behaviour.
I have twin boys, both turned 17 recently, and my eldest (by seconds, but will refer to him as the eldest for the sake of differentiation) is demonstrating some behaviour which is concerning me. He has a really close friend from school who we have always loved having around the house, a very polite and friendly boy. However, I saw my eldest's phone on the counter and messages were coming through fast so instinctively I had a look - to my surprise, the name of his friend was there with the horny devil emoji next to it. Now this wouldn't concern me on its own however the messages were slightly explicit to say the least, they were talking about the next time they would get 'dirty' together. I have no problem with either of my sons being gay, my DH has admitted to experimenting with guys in the past, but it is disheartening to think that he can't tell me or his father.
I asked his brother, my youngest, whether he knew anything about their friendship and he seemed very aloof and unwilling to speak to me - further raising concerns and now my eldest has been very distant with me the past couple of days as his brother has probably told him I was snooping.
Does anybody have any advice on how to deal with this situation and make him feel more comfortable with telling me? Should I just leave it?
Apologies again if this is in the wrong place.
