[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the cousins including him on group chats counts as trying to get to know him better.  Do you get to know people over group chats?  I hate the group chats I’m in for my kids’ classes even though I like the moms![/quote]

Well, it sounds like the kid won’t engage with the family when he’s around them. If he won’t talk to them in person, won’t engage in social media, this does not sound like people excluding and bullying, it sounds like he is sending a clear signal of opting out. OP should own this. She’s trying to make it sound like, “but they are so mean to him.” The kid doesn’t sound introverted, he sounds anti-social. It also doesn’t sound like OP is interested in fixing this. If the kid is anti-social because the extended family has been so mean to him all these years, what kind of parent allows that to happen year after year? So either Op is a negligent parent and let some a$$holes mistreat her kid for years, or OP isn’t fully disclosing how socially inappropriate the kid is. Which is it?[/quote]
