Before I tell you to go and get counseling you can try a few things, tell your son you want to have a man to man talk, ask him if there is something that is bothering him and bring out the shittt OK I have an 18 year old son now a US Marine, but when he was like 14 or 15 he started to show off being mad at me all the time and getting on my nerves I decided not to panic and to be honest with him all the time, always reminding him that I loved him and that it must be something we can do to get along, talk to him relate to him don't be his best friend you are his dad you have to be stronger than him for now and you can guide him believe me... after he is 18 then you can be his buddy right now you take charge and talking and letting him have it just the way things are is the best way,don't sugar coat nothing for him, but always remind him that you will be there at good and bad times, he will come around get involved with your child..have fun with him.. it will get better I know my son did and he apologized for those years we are best friends now..when you talk to your son look him straight in the eyes he will come trough for you.. good luck.

That depends on why the relationship is bad. If it's moody, normal teenage angst, then it could just be a phase. You need to stay involved in his life. Don't stop asking questions. Make sure you KNOW who he's spending his time with. Not just names, but take the time to get to know the kids and their parents. Many teens resent parental involvement, but will come to appreciate it later in life. Don't try to be his friend, be his parent (an understanding one). If you're unsure of his friends, invite them over for a video game night or a movie night. It sounds a little cheesy, but if your house is where the 'group' hangs out, you'll be a little more involved with your kid and know that he's safe.

you somewhat do no longer want to hearken to this, yet you have already heard it on your very own head. it is the two/or. you are going to lose one in all them. you already understand that. which will it is? merely you could come to a determination. The area i do no longer understand is...in the experience that your companion has this manner of low opinion of the boy, and the boy of him, why'd you progression the guy in, in the 1st place? For that rely, why might he want to go right into a opposed domicile atmosphere? shouldn't the certainty that there'll continuously be rigidity, and an uncongenial ecosystem every time they're the two around have triggered you detect somebody else that ought to help you create a greater valuable domicile atmosphere?

Let him know that you are and will be there for him whenever he needs you. There will come a time he realizes that he can not do it all on his own. If you are a good father, that is when you will need to step up to the plate and show him that you truly love him.
I only wish I had a dad that would have stepped up to the plate for me when I was younger. Sadly enough even at 39 my father has never taken the steps to show me that he would be there for me.
I hope that your son will one day be able to look back and know in his heart that you were always there for him.

challengequest.com
is something a friend told me about long ago
the offer physical challenges for teams which are of course mental and emotional challenges as well in teamwork and problem solving
and primarily TRUST
if not this , then maybe something similar than you plan yourself that will place you both in the position of relying on each other to accomplish a common goal
DO NOT BUY HIS FAVOR
once money becomes a tool to win him over you have already lost the battle
and the chance of him valueing you and your relationship for what it is and should be rather than a way to manipulate

My suggestion is try to know all the strengths and weakness of your son. Prioritise his activity with his strengths. Let him spent his maximum time with his goodness. Make him to contact you very often. Try to suggest him and give up advising a lot. Be affectionate in beaviour. Have a regular combined lunch & dinner.

Been There Done That is right on the money...you don't start a relationship when they become teenagers...you can't "do" anything for him, be there, talk to him, make damn sure he knows how much you love him...

Depends why the relationship is bad.

That's to hard to answer, because you don't say why the relationship is bad. Is there abuse, drugs, mental problems/depression?
