What's up with my son?

Question

My son seems to have some obsessive with girl and blood. His house have a couple pictures of girl with blood smear on them, blood dripping from corner of lips, and girl laying in bath tub of blood. Other than that, his house is quite well decorated and in extremely good taste that many people even ask him if he hired a interior designer.

Yesterday when I was talking to my friend who is a computer repairer, he say he repaired my son's laptop once. He keep talk about how he was surprise and gross out by how there's a naked chick with blood smear on them or drinking blood on the background and screen saver.

My son never really cared much for vampire, isn't a goth or anything like that. But he do hang out with goth and punk people often.

I don't understand why he's so obsessed with girls covering in blood? What could it mean?

Answer 1

He is your son, why not ask him?!  Say son I noticed the theme of bloody girls can you help me understand why you surround yourself with this?

I hope you're not one of those parents that are in the dark about your child and end up reading about him in the newspaper.

Answer 2

well you said that he sometimes hangs out with goth and punks right so he is probably just trying to act cool for his friends its not the best thing for him but thats how he wants to act and hopefully he'll creep himself out one day and put them away but till then i would just leave him alone

Answer 3

That's oddly strange.

Or that could just be his style.

Or since he hangs out with Goth/Punk people maybe he likes that stuff..

Answer 4

atleast he doesnt have guys in blood

Answer 5

Might just be a fetish for vamps....neverknow. Ask him.

Answer 6

it means.. hes a freak. lol

Answer 7

This is going to be one of those times when it's really tough to be a parent. You need to just step right out there and ask him. The next time you are over there just say something like well this is interesting, what does in mean.  Or hey whats up with these girls and the blood? Just gently push till you get an explanation you can understand. Good Luck don't let him wiggle out of answering you till you understand it.

Answer 8

I'd suggest you asking your son what the deal is.  Communication is the key to a successful relationship...no matter who the relationship is with.  If it were my son, curiosity would get the best of me and I'd just ask.  Besides, if he's open enough to have such things displayed in his home, on his computer, etc., I'm sure he wouldn't mind explaining it to you.  Besides, what more than he say besides, Yeah...blah blah blah...or Mom, it's none of your business?  It's not like he's gonna kill ya if you ask.  (Not to be sarcastic, here.)

I wouldn't understand why he has such taste either, but I wouldn't necessarily call it an obsession until after I'd talked to him.  I've always heard, You are the company you keep, so maybe there's more to him than meets the eye...in other words, maybe he IS goth and just chooses to keep that part of his life private.

Again, communication is the key to understanding!  God bless you, Hon.

Answer 9

he sounds like going to develop severe mental problem.you need to contact physicist asap..sounds horrible to me.

Answer 10

he probably picked it up from his friends. you are what you run with. people tend to copy their friends to some degree so they can relate and not feel left out. it is a way of conforming.
