Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with their teen emulating someone else, not just clothes and appearance. My DS is just 18 and has been involved with a trans boy for almost a year. Prior to this relationship he was in college, working part time and training for kick boxing competitions. He's dropped everything and does nothing now except complain he can't sleep, can't touch certain materials, has anxiety. These are a few of the many problems that his partner experiences. It even goes as far as wanting to be sectioned (like his partner), to small things like wanting me to buy him a vape so he can quit smoking (verbatim what his partner told me!). There are so many examples, but it feels cruel to point it out to him. I'm really concerned, his partner is very troubled but my DS didn't used to be. I'm really not sure what do, if anything. It feels like a car crash waiting to happen
