Pretty basic psychology that a male teen will act out against his mom when he doesnt get enough time, approval, or guidance from his dad. If that is going on and the mom is gettin all logical... it won't matter. All he will hear is blah blah blah. Not always the case but usually.

@KYLakeDiver He's estranged from his malignant narcissist dad, but has a step father who is fairly involved. The dynamics aren't ideal. Thank you for sharing that. I just want him to be mentally healthy & happy, & I sure didn't deserve 2 be treated poorly by him.

@Myocite Yup... I understand and if I was you I wouldn't take it personal. But finding ways to strengthen his relationship with his stepfather (even more) would actually help you in return. Stepping back never feels like progress but in this case it does help. Sorry his natural dad is an ass. He is the root of it all. 😕

@KYLakeDiver You're quite wise! He taught my older 2 sons to actually disrespect & laugh at me. I doubt my 23 & 24 yr old sons will ever be happy because they don't know how to treat a woman because of their father.

@Myocite Unreal how much damage one person can do! I'm sorry to hear it.
But about your compliment "You're quite wise!" ... Well, even a blind chicken finds a kernel once in awhile. LOL

@KYLakeDiver oh how much damage that one man has done is unreal. Many lives were permanently damaged because of him & the family court judge looked the other way.
