Ok so everyone is attached to their parents when we're little but for me and him our moms were always taking the easy way out and would take off and leave when ever they wanted luckily for me I had my dad but he never met his dad . I was always super attached to my mom but then something had clicked in my head that she wasn't the person I thought she was that was at around 11 and I am now 14 but hes about to be 13 and is too attached to his mom because he doesn't want her to leave and he's really obsessive with her whenever out aunt takes us out to get our minds off of stuff all he wants to do is call his mom and when she doesn't answer he just keeps on calling and literally bugs her until the point where she turns off her phone and says it's dead when it isn't i. Our whole family has tried to talk to him that he needs to be less attached but he always gets angry and thinks we don't want his mom around him when it's the opposite this is how it's been his whole life but recently I have realized it more because what teenager turns down hanging out with his friends to spend time with his mom Ive told my sister that he might need to talk to a shrink or something but I'm afraid he will just get mad and think were calling him crazy

So I want to know is how can I get him to understand that being with his mom every second of every day is not healthy for him (link)
It sounds like he is just very dependant. There is nothing wrong with this but it could lead to problems down the road when he has to start being more independent. I wouldn't try to force anything upon him. Some people just take longer to become independent, although in some cases it is due to anxiety. He needs people he can trust and who will support him. Instead of telling him there's something wrong with him, be the support he needs and help him get out more. You are both still quite young. Having a good relationship with your parents is extremely important. It sounds as though neither of you do though, which is not your fault. Any mother who lies to her child about her phone being dead because they are bugging her, doesn't care about that child the way they need her to. It sounds like you've been betrayed in some way and you think because you've decided to change, he should too. It's really hard to say.
