HELP

Use Messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

that happens when you share the same apple id for imessage, everyone should have their own apple id.

Add or remove your phone number to iMessage or FaceTime on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

on all of the devices, settings - message - send&receive - remove or uncheck the apple id.
