Family gatherings cause a lot of stress for my 15 year old son. He sits at a table with his cousins who basically ignore him. They don’t say a word to him. We have a gathering at a restaurant tomorrow to celebrate his grandmother’s birthday. It’s a big deal and family from out of town will be there. He is making himself sick over it. He doesn’t like his family because he doesn’t feel included or like they care about him. I’ve told him he can stay home, but he says that would just make it worse. How can I help him?
