Hi I need advice. My son is seeing a girl who seems to be his shadow. He isn't seeing the fact that she just does not leave him alone as school. My daughter says even his friends are getting fed up with her always there.
If she doesn't get her way I think she becomes moody. She doesn't appear to have any friends. Which for me is a concern.why!!.
My son and I have talked and he is quite open . I don't want to fall out with him I did before because of her .
I am worried I don't think it's a great mix.
Her mother thinks it's lovely. I know why because my son is company for her.
How should I try to get my son to see
It's not healthy her having no one but him.

My DS is older now but he had a very similar relationship around that age. Like your DS he is very open so I casually brought up relationships one day with him. This lead on to talking about his relationship and I told him my concerns. Then I stepped back and a couple of weeks later they broke up. Once they had broke up it all came out about how suffocated he felt in the relationship.

I definitely wouldn't raise it more then once/twice and I wouldn't make her feel unwelcome or anything. IMHO you've got to voice your opinion kindly then trust you've brought them up to be able to make the right decision. The more you force your opinion on them however the more likely they are to do the opposite so I would say tread carefully and good luck

As a mum to a son who's is also a few years older than ops DS I couldn't agree more.
