The advice of Marcel Rofo

Marcel Rofo’s point of view, child psychiatrist

You should try to open other discussion channels, so as to make this burden less heavy, Bernadette. If Alexandre has brothers and sisters, get closer to them. You don’t tell me if your son is working, if he is socially inserted. Talking about the situation with one of his friends would be useful and precious.

In addition, Alexandre has a father. If necessary, get in touch with your ex-husband and encourage him to restore the link with this son in difficulty, even if they haven’t been talking for a long time. Perhaps you can set up relationships with three, go beyond the blocking to which you run up, so as to understand the cause of the discomfort of your son. Alexander’s reproaches probably testify to already complicated relationships with his parents in the past.

Through his accusations, he replayed the scenes that had to mark his childhood. We are a parent for life, but, at 80, you endure the complaints of a 45 -year -old being clinging to operations of the past. In order not to find yourself in distress yourself, I believe that you are talking about all of this with your general practitioner. It is important that you take care of yourself, Bernadette, and that a doctor helps you.
