Her son is very quiet and private but as much as possible I offer him as close a relationship as he would like... just because he is a good kid and has no other male adult figure that is much in his life. His father and he seem to have a very oppositional relationship.
I offer things, but he has not often accepted. I have taken him and his buddies places to do things and they have had a good time.
I think, according to two of his buddies that he likes me better than his Dad... but again he is a most private person. He has several good buddies though.
He is an avid artist, muscian and videographer and does very good work there. I try to find ways to allow him opportunities in those areas and sometimes he accepts my offers. Usually he just ignors my offers, but that seems to be his quiet way. I just smile if he ignors me.
