Hi , I female late 30s met my now partner 5 years ago and we are now living together with her kids (from a previous hetro marriage now divorced) .I used to have a great relationship with both kids but recently the older child in his teens. Has become almost angry at my entire existence. I understand he has feelings about his mum and dad are not being together that's normal but sometimes it's like he blames/hated me for it . How do i talk to him understand is feeling as he wont give me i contact half the time and when he does the looks are angry /scowling .I want everyone to be happy i know i cant take away what he feels but i want to understand more. I've said to my partner about having family therapy so it's a safe space for him to talk say what he needs to say but it got dismissed. My partner says he is just a teen get over it. I was hoping maybe someone else there may have advice been through a similar issue. 🙏🙏

He is a teen and full of raging hormones.

He could be experiencing something at school or in his personal life that is making him unhappy and he’s lashing out at the easiest person which unfortunately is you.

As long as your partner has your back at home and is making it clear if he’s rude etc that it isn’t ok or acceptable I think you have to try and hold out for a while.

Dont smother him or distance yourself completely. Just keep it normal and let his mum deal with any hard talks with him.
