Love the crap out of him. These teens are tough kids but need our love. I am going through this with our 18 yr old. He still lives at home or I should say sleeps at home. He is mad at us all the time (trying to spread those new adult wings). I have found him softening up when I just give him a hug or a pat on the back...does he want me to touch him...probably not. I am mean bc he can't spend the night at his girlfriends house or stay out late. Curfew is 11. I have been making time for him one on one. I took him to a check up and then offered to let him skip classes (his is in college now) and have breakfast with me...his choice. It was a fun morning. I picked up his girlfriend and took her with us. Try to plan either you or hubby a one on one "date" with him. Go get ice cream or see a movie or whatever. Just keep it light and love on him. I am sure it is hard leaving his friends at this age. For a teen...friends are life and they feel lost without them. <3 Hang in there
