    He doesn't know you. You are a stranger. How can you get to know each other? Where does he live, and where do you live in relation to him?

    He has been with you only three of his 18 years, and I'm wondering why he has moved in to be with you in the first place.

    Teens can be very hard to manage; what was he like with your parents before moving in. Were they having any trouble with him?

    Were you in a position to see your son through the years, with visitation, holidays, etc. Where is his biological father- is he in the picture at all? Are you married with other children in the home?

    There are many factors involved I'm sure, that have led to the two of you not getting along.

    If you could provide a little history, you would get more complete advice.

    Why should he ? What have you done to earn any love or respect.

    Over the years he may or may not like you for the person you are

    What is the reason your parents raised him and not you?. The reason he doesn't like you may be in your answer to this question.
