[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 763211, member: 18958"] Hi RN. Thank you for the update. If he goes back to school to complete his degree there he has a better chance of meeting new friends. Oh, how I know how this feels when it feels like your heart is living outside of your body, in the form of your child's disappointment and pain. The life lessons that come with this are ours to learn: how to carve out selves, joy, and purpose, while we suffer and feel the suffering of others, most difficult of all, our child. Well, here I go, trying to live his life for him: Does he have hobbies or potential ones) that could be developed? People who love to do certain activities are drawn out of the house to be with others who also engage in the same interests. Your boy is sensitive which is a great quality but it often takes a long time to learn to be in the world, with this quality. I think you did the right thing to encourage (insist) that he lives independently. All of us or most of us at one time or another have to develop this skill. I love to live alone. I am wondering if the pill addiction from the beginning was about a sensitive soul trying to not feel so much. It may be his life's work to deal with feeling so much and learning and embracing that this is his greatest gift. Our children have their own life stories to make and we can't write them, however much we (I) try. [/QUOTE]
