My son is nearly 14 and I am starting to notice the distancing (for want of a better word) from myself. I guess a teenage boy has better things to do than spending time with his old mum!
But how do you keep the communication lines open? I'm feeling a wee bit sad that he is growing up but also proud that he has his own social circle and interests. It's a weird feeling. He is not a boy of many words however, he has even been described as deep, and so it's something I feel I need to work hard at and keep communication going. But how? And how to do it without coming across as interfering or pushy?
Don't like the new territory of teenagedom!
