My 13yo DS barely speaks to me or Dad. anymore. It changed almost overnight when he started high school 18 months ago. He has plenty of friends and is always out and about but when it comes to having anything to do with me and dad - well its virtually non-existent these days. He could walk in the house, go upstairs and we wouldn't hear or see from him all evening. If we try and get him to join us for any kind of socialising or chat he will spend a few seconds with us then make excuses and go back upstairs. Its like he just can't bear to be in the same room with us. I know at this age their peers are the be all and end all but I just feel like Ive lost him altogether. All I want is a little bit of my son back. Does it get any better ?
