My son and I stopped living together after a failed marriage. He was 13 at the time and now 26 years old. He rarely calls and never visits. If he does it's for money. He's cussed me once or twice out and tells me I'm immature. The last time we had an argument I stopped reaching out to him because I’m so tired of the emotional drain. It is liberating but, I feel guilty. The reoccurring thought is that my parents and I never had these issues.
Anyone else have this issue and was it resolved?
I am very sorry for the bad situation right now with your kid. However, it's really understandable, that he will feel distant because he was very young when you got separated with him. However, over time just fill up the emptiness that was gone when you were far from him eventually he will feel you again and once he gets older, he will be the one who will adjust. It's hard to push him to do this and that, just let him be since he is now a teenager trying to get freedom. Just be loving to him always, write him a letter if he doesn't want to talk with you.
