He isn’t lost in the way that no one can find him but lost in the way that says he can’t find himself.
So many people to blame for it, myself included, but at this point blame won’t help. Actually nothing will help.
He is 12, his parents never married, he lived with his Mom for awhile, then his grandparents, then my new wife and myself, and now he is back with his Mother and her new husband.
He strikes out at random, this time I’m his target, and I’ll admit it hurts more then a little.
As of today we aren’t speaking at all.
He sent me a face book request with his last name as his new Stepfathers.
He told me he was being forced too.
I called and checked, that was a lie.
He has actually been told not to.
This cuts and burns like after-shave lotion when you nicked yourself shaving.
I declined the friendship request. I left a message on his cell telling him if there is an emergency to have his Mom call me.
I told him he didn’t even know who he was.

Jody-As a parent of a 10year old, I have to say this is your son feeling his way through life. Does it hurt, oh hell yeah, but I think if you can give him a little breathing room and when you have both had a little time, talk, you might find it better.
Communication is key in any relationship, even with our kids. And while we are the parent, we are not a dictator. We still need to listen to what they have to say, even more so to what they are not saying.
Hugs* I hope you both work it out.
