My 16 year old son has gone to live with his father and won't talk to me now.?

so where to start... i have to say he is a little out of line to be so rude but he probably wants some space and freedom. Growing up with just his mom must have been weird because he probably wanted a father figure or another man in the house. and just to say 10 is a little early for a curfew. i think 11 would be better because its kinda late enough for him not to think your being ridiculous but its early enough for you not to worry so much! now the fact that when given the option he chose to live with his dad, to me, was extremely expected. my older brother did the same thing he wasn't telling my dad and my step mom where he was going or when he was coming back and he was slacking in his chores so they told him straight up if you want to keep doing that you cant stay here! and especially since our moms house is soooo much better he chose to leave and then they were shocked when it was their fault. so my advice is to stop babying him with texts and stuff, give him a little space for now to let him figure out what he really wants. And you NEED to stop letting him take advantage of you! if he wants to borrow money or get a ride he needs to respect you , if he doesn't just tell him he can figure it out himself. he is old enough to understand you can't treat people like that and get good stuff in return. But don't let his silly teenage rage hurt you personally. in my opinion he is being difficult on purpose because he thinks if he is rude to you then you will leave him alone. He needs to get over himself so just ignore his rude behavior. he is going through a stereo type stage, he will get over it soon. and as for the father saying everything is fine he could be telling the truth but most likely wants you to not bug him because hes a "man" and can handle it. and feeding your son lies is also very possible. my dad and step mom always twist things and talk crap about my mom but i know they are wrong. its a sticky situation so good luck and i hope i helped! sorry for the length :)
