Hi all,
my 18year old son has got a girl friend since half a year. Since that time he wears black trousers, shirts, shoes...etc. Nothing with color. He changed very much. It's good for him to have a girl friend, but he left us while still living in our house. It is hard to explain. He comes in at 11pm and has to leave for school at 6.30am. I do not know if he really sleeps some hours or only takes a short nap. He looks terrible in the morning.
Now as we reminded him again to search a job - school will be finished in June,2008 and we talk about that since July this year- he told us he has so much to do, just don't know how he should manage that all. We offered help - he does not want it. He told us, he will do, but he has to learn for exams. He stays at his girlfriend home all day. Unfortunatly she lives a one hour drive away - a lot if you don't have a car.
I seems that we have lost him. Does anyone made the same experience? I want to him to search a job. How can I help him? Why doesn't he like any help if he so "stressed"?
Hope you have got some answers, thanks.
