Hello. I have a 13-year-old son and he likes to write and draw. I think he has talent. I've never been very imaginative myself... But should I be concerned if he's drawing and writing things that are strange?
He never shows me his writing, but sometimes he shows me his pictures and a lot of them are of injured young boys. Boys with missing arms and legs. Boys with pieces of metal piercing their bodies. People with their bodies stitched together in odd ways. The thing that bothers me the most is that the drawings are very sexual and I find them a bit nauseating.
Another matter is the writing. He hides it from me, but I've found some of it by his bed and a lot of it seems to deal with sexual relationships between young boys and older men; sometimes even father and son relationships. Usually something sadomasochistic. It makes me feel very uncomfortable, because I don't know if he's writing about me. I have never abused or hit my son before. I don't know why he thinks about these things.
should I be worried about what he's drawing/writing?
