Finding this situation REALLY difficult. DS has had a group of friends since he was 4- he’s now 15. The boys are all really typical cocky confident teen boys apart from my son, who is quiet and shy. As a result, he’s been dropped and excluded from the group over the last 6 months and he’s been super upset about it and feels really lonely, left out and sad. He can see that they are all together on snap chat etc and just gets really upset.
I do feel really pissed off with how they have treated him and I am also really good friends with the mums and find I am pissed off with them too for their kids excluding behaviour. The latest was him being not invited to his friends birthday when all the rest of them were there. It’s just horrible.
How do I deal with it? I know that by the time they are teens - you can’t tell them who to be friends with - but it feels so harsh. My DS is more immature socially and that has probably got a lot to do with it too - he’s not ready for drinking and parties etc.
Its so tricky - I don’t want to fall out with the women who i have been friends with for over a decade either but I am angry. We al go on holiday together etc so it’s extra tricky.
