My son turns 19 at the weekend. He has a history of mild depression and anxiety. He is refusing to talk to me about anything. I have tried for years to get him to a Dr about his mental health but refused. Now he has seen a Dr because his gf took him. He can't or won't get a job and he left school over a year ago with no plans for uni or further study. He is now talking about moving away with gf when she goes to uni next semester. It is in a whole different state which would take hours and hours to get to. He has zero money for a deposit for a rental, no job lined up.
Worst of all though this move I have heard about while he was chatting to his step dad. My DH said he really should let me know his plans but DS still has not said anything. I am getting angry (in ptivate) at the fact he won't speak to me even when I try and have a conversation with him and I am absolutely heartbroken at the whole business. I am desperately trying to be kind and understanding at the fact he us an adult and can make his own choices but he ruins all that by behaving like a child and not talking to me or truly considering the implications of living so far away.
