Feeling Lost: Parenting a Teen Who Feels Out of Reach

Lately, I feel like I’m losing my 17-year-old son. His behavior is spiraling, and every conversation turns into an argument. I’ve tried setting boundaries, listening, and even giving him space, but nothing seems to work. It’s heartbreaking to watch him pull away, and I’m scared I’m failing as a parent. I just want to help him find his way, but I’m running out of ideas and hope. Has anyone else been through this? What helped you reconnect with your teen? I’d truly appreciate any advice or words of encouragement. Please share your thoughts or experiences below – I could really use some support right now. #ParentingTeens #FamilyStruggles #FaithInParenting #Parenting
