Hi I am very worried about my son. He is nearly 7 and shows no loving emotion towards me at all. He shows all other emotions but no love or empathy -even towards his puppy although he says she is his best friend. He is fine every other way - he plays well with others, makes friends, gets angry etc. He was nearly 2 years old when I had my 2nd child and he never forgave me. I don't love you, I love daddy was his lament for 2 yrs. I still loved him, cuddled him etc but he still wants no love from our family. Its hard because my husband and I are loving and open; my younger son has so much empathy for others; he is loving to everyone.
I know everyone is different and I thought that my eldest son might be more reserved in his emotions so we respected his wishes. But Im now beginning to get worried. No love, no concern, no passion for his family = is that OK at his age?
