It breaks my heart to see my kids hurting.
Son's girlfriend broke up with him...I think. Facebook shows her status as single and one of the guys Son hates most "liked" her status. Son will be extremely angry when he sees that. But in the meantime, I'm really worried about him. This was his first girlfriend and he fell hard. They've been dating for almost 5 months. We suspected a couple weeks ago that things were not going smoothly - their normal routine changed.
He's been moody the past couple of weeks, too. But everytime I tried to ask how things were going, he didn't want to talk about it or he would change the subject. I got the message and backed off. Tonight, again, he disappeared into his room before dinner. Then he didn't want to eat, so I knew something was up. But, I left him alone because that's what I thought he wanted. Then after dinner, I got on Facebook - sometimes I think it's at the root of all our problems!!! I saw that my hunch was right, and was trying to decide how to proceed. Daughter came home and informed me Son was mad at me for not caring!
I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't!
I knocked on his door again. He won't let me in, and doesn't want to talk to me. So I resorted to their tactics: I texted him. Told him I'm sorry, that I'm here if he wants to talk, and that I love him. True to form, his reply was that I'm not someone he wants to talk to, that I didn't care enough to check on him for the past hour and 20 minutes. He thinks I don't care or I'm oblivious. He's wrong on both counts.
Now he's gone out for a walk. I asked where he was going. "Don't know, don't care," he answered by text. I told him I do care. No answer. Daughter texted me and told me he showed up at her shop, so at least I know he is not alone. Hopefully she can help him through this, since he obviously doesn't trust me to do it.
I feel so helpless...this sucks.
