My son’s number is receiving my texts. We are on the same plan.
Our iPhones are in the same plan but it seems our texts are connected. He is receiving all my texts and I am too. How do I separate the texts?

Like SranvanKrA is saying separate your accounts. You can create an account for your child on their device there are a few Apple Support articles for this exact situation. If you create an account for them your Messages should be separate. Additionally as a bonus you can manage their account through Screen Time and Family Sharing to protect and safeguard them online.
Worth a try, but no guarantees.
