losingdd, i felt just the same as you, 16 is far to young to be that serious and i feel my ds felt it was just an escape route from home. myself and my ds have always had a strained relationship.i love him dearly and im sure,at least i hope, he loves me the same but we do clash and like i said b4 him moving out has worked out the best.
dont get me wrong i miss him so much and deep down would love him to come back. but sensibly i know it would be no good for any of us.
although i think 16 is too young to be that serious am leaving him to his own devices at the mo and letting him figure it out! who knows it may work....my mum was 16 when she met my dad and fell pregnant with my eldest sister,40 years later they are still a happily married couple with 4 grown up daughters and 8 grandchildren!
