Hi, I have 2 sons, 26 and 22, the 22 yr old was a happy child, very easy going, but at about the age of 13, he just stopped talking to me! I don't mean completely just moved from chatting and conversation to one word answers, its almost ten years now! He is like this with everyone inside the family, outside the family he is chatty and very friendly, he works in a restaurant and I have stood at the door watching, while he is behind the bar chatting away, over the years I have tried everything I can think of to find out why or get conversation out of him. Once I stopped speaking to him for a week, don't think he noticed. There was no trauma that I know off, I spoke to the school at the time, all fine there. Im telling this story as a. Has this happened to anyone else? and b. i am soooo over it, feel like telling him to move out, I guess lockdown hasn't helped, its just me and him in the house, grunts and yes and no, then his girlfriend arrives and they shut themselves in his bedroom all happy and chatty. Today it just seems to have really got me down.
