Help! My Son Won’t Talk to Me

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and support right now. My name is Anna, and I’m going through a really tough time with my son, Joe. To give you a bit of background, I know I haven’t been the best mom in the past. I made a lot of mistakes, and I wasn’t there for Joe when he needed me the most.

Recently, I decided to try and make things right. I went to see Joe, hoping we could start to rebuild our relationship. But when I got there, he just looked at me and said, “I don’t have a mother,” and then turned around and walked away. It broke my heart into a million pieces.

I get it, I really do. I wasn’t there for him, and he’s hurt. But I want to make things better. I want to show him that I’ve changed and that I’m here for him now. But I don’t know where to start. How do I even begin to mend this broken relationship?

Has anyone else been through something similar? How did you manage to reconnect with your child after a rough past? Any tips or advice would be so helpful right now. I’m feeling pretty lost and desperate.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
