[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You said “ He was a grumpy tween and then he turned 13 and we went away on vacation and[b] he came back as a stranger[/b]. I truly don’t recognize him anymore.”

What happened on that vacation?  Did someone hurt him?  Many kids shut down after a trauma and parents don’t know it happened.

You also said he changed with the phone.  Did he see something that traumatized him?  I know many adults still working through traumatizing internet exposures.

Don’t call him spoiled.  He needs help. [/quote]

We went to Asia for spring break. It was a long flight. I do not think anything traumatizing happened to him. I cannot comment on phone and internet if anything happened on the internet.

I do see him snapping his friends on Snapchat. I am his friend on Snapchat and I can see him post happy birthday Jack on his stories.

He used to have friends over all the time but he hasn’t had friends over for a while. I don’t know what is going on with him.

Last week, I picked him up from school and I could tell he was unhappy. I kept prying and he told me to leave him alone. I was worried and Dh said some kids probably were mean to him. DH said middle school boys can be jerks and he would be fine.

I have friends who tell me various stories of their kids having bad experiences in elementary, middle and high school. My daughter tells me everything. My boys don’t share much.[/quote]
