[quote=Anonymous]My son was a bit younger when he started to pull away, but it was rough in the beginning. When he started to act rude - I shifted the way I interacted with him. The first time he was rude to me in the car when I was driving him to school I told him to get out and find his own way to school. There were other things over the course of a week or two and I told him that I would rather not interact with him at all than the way he was talking to me. That changed everything, I think he recognized that I was giving him space and that it wasn't too much to ask him to not be a jerk. We have a good relationship now, we took a road trip to the midwest together over the summer and had a great time. Occasionally he'll forget that when I say I'm leaving at 8:15, I'm leaving but I always get a laugh when he runs out the door carrying his shoes with one sock on.[/quote]
