Have lost my contact list,has been replaced by my sons contact list,I gave him my old iphone 4.How do I GET BACK MY CONTACT LIST?

Have lost my contact list iphone 5,has been replaced by my sons contact list .I gave him my old iphone 4,it has been unlocked and all his info has been downloaded on his phone.But for some reason his contacts have replaced mine.As well as my phone my contacts in my computer have been replaced as well. can anyone help?

That's because you both are using the same Apple ID for iCloud(yours). Your son deleted your contacts & added his, & as far as iCloud knows, its the same person & that's the way things are supposed to work...keeps everything in sync across all of your devices.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage...this will prevent this from happening again.
As far as recovering your contacts, unless they are in a supported application somewhere else, they are most likely gone.
