This is such a good question. In my early teens I became to be such a delinquent lol even though I was raised to be the opposite. I never disrespected my mom and dad directly, but did a lot of things that came back to upset my mom. I grew out of it, though. But most of my life I've been a mommy's boy lol save for those few early teen years.

@astrosandorbits I hope he returns to me. I can't, "lose" all 3 of my sons. They are everything to me.

@astrosandorbits upon reflection do you understand why you became that way?

@Myocite honestly I think once I reached that age I realized I was becoming more independent. I knew I needed my mom, but I also knew I was coming to the age where I could accomplish more on my own. With this came the attraction to more things that my mom didn't like. For example, my mom would get upset when I didn't perform well in school and I knew why I had to perform well in school. But, at that point of development, I realized other things mattered to me like hanging out with friends. My mom was fine with me to hang out with friends, but she set expectations for me that I balance my time efficiently. I put my mom's expectations on the backburner and just cared more for my own wants. When I look back, my mom always had my best interests in mind. I should've always listened to her. I'm 26 now and I do my best to listen to everything my mom says. It is just a respect a man should gain for his mother once he comes to the realization that she wants the best for him. One of my favorite song lyrics ever goes something like this (to paraphrase) "And when you end up in jail call your momma because ain't no one give a f*ck about you." In the teenage years, boys don't realize that no one loves them more than their mother.
Sorry for this being so long. Im so sorry about your situation and I hope it gets better. 💚🧡

@astrosandorbits No, it's not long. I really enjoyed reading it. I wish you could talk to my son. I think my weakest point as a mom is how lenient I am. I always want my son to be happy & tend to let things slide because of that reason. I can't stand for him to not be happy & it's very hard for me to be strict.

@astrosandorbits You're right about no one giving a f*** about you but your mom. Even dad's don't care nearly as much.

@Myocite I'm not a parent, but what you mentioned about being lenient is something I struggle so much with others in general. You love someone. You don't want them to be unhappy ever. Its such a human struggle. In my mind I take it and try to amplify it tenfold to have any kind of comprehension of how a mom feels for her kids. I wish I could give you the right advice for this. I think no matter what your son will have days where he feels he might hate you because he's so mad at you. Then after a while those feelings mend and he realizes you have his best interests in mind. I can only hope he matures through the issues and sees your care for what it is. I really do.

@astrosandorbits Thank you so much for saying all of that. You're very kind & generous in spirit. I know he knows I have his best interest at heart, and I'll be glad when he realizes all the things we've been talking about.😁
