Stepson acts terrified to see his mom..

edited November 2014 in Parenting
Everytime stepsons mom or grandparents get ran into in public he shuns them, pushes them away, screams and kicks. Its seriously starting to concern me a bit. I know it isn't my place to say anything but, he wants nothing to do with them and its starting to worry me a little. how should we approach this kind of situation?

    Woah, you are the last person to comment on almost every thread on the first page. That's interesting. So, uh, insomnia?

    Nobody was replying to the post, I forgot how late it was lol & it's been a long day. I cant sleep, way too much on my mind. so I guess you can say insomnia is kicking in. I was just reading up on posts and noticed that most of them are actually very interesting an kind of amusing. There are definitely some personalities on here, I love that. lol. anyways, he's three and never gives an answer when asked about it. It's starting to concern everyone. how does one approach a situation like this if he wont answer?

    I do remember DSS going through a phase like this. He is 16 now.....it might have been around three. He always seemed freaked out to run into his mom when we were out or vice versa.

    I have no idea why or if it is normal, I just have a vague recollection of that time

    Family therapy can often be really helpful in blended families...he might also benefit from seeing a child psychologist if you think there are areas of concern that he may be more likely to open up to an objective professional (trained to work with kids) about.

    How long has the behavior been occurring? Any other new developments or changes in him? Ie more angry / oppositional / withdrawn or acting out when not around those individuals?

    You don't think family therapy is too young for a three year old? I'll definitely bring it up.

    Well it's nice to know that it's common and can be grown out of. Maybe it's just a phase then?

    There's a blended families board. While there are a lot of women here who can give you great advice, you may get more answers or people dealing with a similar situation there.

    I had no idea that there was a group specifically for that. Thank you so much for your help!(:

    I was half asleep when I wrote this. Yeah, it seemed to be a phase. I think at the time we chalked it up to the experience of his worlds colliding....like being a little kid and seeing your teacher in public and not wanting to say hi. He wasn't acting scared exactly...just kind of shy. He would almost hide behind whichever parent he was with at the time.

    It sounds like he is a normal 3 year old. My niece does the same thing when she sees her mom too. (Brother has custody). I tHink it is their way of controlling the situation in their minds. 3 year old have little control over anything, not talking to someone is something they can control.
