Help.... 15 year old boy.

[DaniH74]

Hi. I'm new here just need advice about my 15 year old. We fell out about 8 weeks ago and he went to live with my sister. What do I Do?
I don't talk to my family. Due to religion.
He says he won't come home until I change.

We've had a tough life. I suffered from post natal depression. My ex partner (not his dad) abused us both. I then fled DV.

How does he want you to change? Would he be up for talking to you with a neutral third party there (not a family member)?

What changes does he want you to make. Are you on your own at home. Is he still going to school.

Can you make the changes he needs? Do you want to?

Are your family JW? I know someone who had the same problem, son chose to be with his dad in that case and there was nothing she could do. I presume by 'change' he wants you to back (or convert) to that religion.

Without knowing what you fell out over and what changes he is expecting it is difficult to know what to say.

Keep in touch with him but don’t put him under pressure to come back.

Thanks Chaz. It was his attitude and behaviour towards me. I text him every day. Just need to know I'm not the only one really....

They can be challenging at that age. Let him know you care and that you aren’t going to constantly pressure him over his decision but just want to be in touch. It’s important to keep communication going.
