In Reply to: 12-year-old son says I yell at him all the time (sm) - MT mom
He's in a transition right now and it's got to be more difficult with the separation going on. My boy is 13 and I honestly believe there are hormone surges for them just like the girls. Be very gentle, patient and understanding AND loving right now. The next time he says you yell all of the time respond with I'm sorry you feel that way honey. You know, if that's the way he feels, maybe you do need to examine maybe the TONE of your voice. My son used to say the same thing to me and so I watched the tone in which I was speaking to him. Also, at 12, they seem to regress or something. It seems like you have to nag more and remind more and like they're in "la-la land." That's how I felt with my daughter and son. It is just a growing phase, IMO, but the separation exacerbates it. Good luck, mom. Hang in there, I'll be praying for ya.
