In short, i am a single mother for two sons the elder are 22 years old, and it seems that he has changed, when he met first "love "relationship ".... not even love, let s say, the first intimate relationship with a woman who has had other relationships before, so a woman with experience. I try to speak with him, and explain that he will have multiple relationships, as man, until he meet the woman who will be in love, with whom he wants to start a family, but it seems that i can t make him understand,in this moment,he blame me, and say that I'm the worst enemy , who want destroy his "happiness". I do not know what to do, I just want to make him understand that intimate relationships are not everything, he must to wait, to understand, to know someone, that girl is not right for him, I feel, I see, I know; what i can do? I am sure that here are many parents, who had same problems, i need advices, is a problem of life, and i don t know how i can handle with, i don t want lose mt son, i don t want force him, but i can t let him to destroy all his life; i can make everything, but i can t accept that he can be so blind.

Dear friend, i can feel the true feelings of a mother. And with teen kids, this is a most common problem. I would suggest you to go to a doctor, as nowadays many teenage issues are solved by them more effectively. First you can go to them and take a counselling which will help you in dealing with the kid. And experience makes the children better. So he will sure experience and understand the true feelings. Just dont go harsh with him and its truely your love that can change him.

I have 4 daughters and have watched them all "fall in love" with guys that I can see are not right for them. I learned long ago to let them make these kind of choices for themselves. They will live and learn and I will always be here for them if things crash. If you interfere too much, your son will distance himself from you and cling tighter to the woman you know is all wrong for him. You need to trust that in time he will figure this out for himself. Remember that saying that we all have to kiss a bunch of toads before we find prince or princess? It's true. If he were to break up with this woman because you keep pushing him to, then he will forever blame you for breaking him up with the "love of his life". Let him realize on his own that she is all wrong and just be there for him.

I think you probably need to back off and let him work it out on his own. Anything you say against her or the relationship is probably going to push him closer to her.

Hey icesmile~ You need to let him find out on his own. Unfortunately, it that means he has to get his heart broken then sobeit! You are his mother and can only do and say so much! You can be there for him if and when it all falls apart! He is old enough to make his own choices and for now that is what he is doing! You need to just step away from the situation and let him come to you when he needs you or is ready. I know that it is breaking your heart because you know what he is headed for, but he isn't going to listen to his mother right now because he is grown and not thinking clearly! Just be there for him when he is ready because that is all that you can do!

Ice, The only way for your son to learn is to learn from his mistakes. I've learned this from life as well. He will just wake up from that zombie thingy, and realize where he went wrong. But for now, what you can do is let him be. He's already 22, he can take care of himself. Do not force him as it will cause conflict between the two of you.

I have a son but he is only 8 yrs old. At his early age, I am looking for the same problem. I hope it will not happen to me or to us. But that is my worry actually, if the my son wont listen to me when it comes to his love interest. I would find it difficult to handle, I even dont know how to manage it. But surely I will asked for help and guidance to our Almighty God, that the my son will see all the things that I am seeing or I will leave him on his own and let him realized what are the things going on. If things failed, I will always support him and guide him. I will always be his mother no matter what will happen. For you to have a peace of mind, you can talk to him and let him realized that you are not hindering his happiness. you are there to let him see the reality. If he still dont agree with you. Make a deal with him that if you are wrong you will accept the girl and be friend with her. But if you are right, your son need to stop it as soon as possible. If he still dont agree with the deal, just tell him that you are the mother who took care of him when he was little kid. So you know him so much well. Those are the things discuss in the book that I've read about parenting.
