Hi. This is my first post on here as I’m hoping for some anonymous advice.
My son is 13, just gone into y9 at school and I’m really struggling with how he’s changed.
He’s been getting moodier over the past year or so, doesn’t want any affection from me and barely even speaks to me. He doesn’t want to do anything much as a family any more, only really wants to do things with his dad and his dads friends. I’ve also recently found some things on his phone where he’s been messaging girls on social media being flirty etc. All of which I’m sure is normal behaviour for his age but I hate it!
I know I’m probably being really dramatic but I feel like I’m grieving for the boy he once was. I keep crying when I look at old pics and think about things we used to do.
Please tell me anyone else has felt like this?
