if this is the case then it appears that son has a problem communicating with you Hard for me to imagine since we've lived together for over two years...but I won't discount that. It's certainly possible.

no matter how passive/aggressively your obnoxious ex is putting it She still has lots of anger and resentment.

maybe couples counseling with your son to learn how to communicate with him better? He sees a counselor now, and he refuses to talk to her. He just sits there. She said she has NEVER had a kid so completely unwilling to communicate.


It may have been to conveniently place blame on you or it may honestly be because he feels he can't be open and honest with you for whatever reason Either of those, or both of them, are certainly possible. Then again, it may be something else.

be open to that possibility I'm open to a lot of possibilities.

offer a solution in going to therapy It took nearly 3 years to get him to see the counselor he's seeing now. Counseling has been discouraged by his mother ever since all of this began over 3 years ago.

"son..I was really looking forward to being able to tell you how much I love you and having you hear all the great things I think you are capable of. I feel like we have lost our ability to communicate and I know I need some help to do that better with you. I would like you to go to see xxx with me to help us learn to talk to each other again." I like it. I'll probably modify it and send it to him later on today. Thank you.
