talked with younger son for quite a while yesterday. the conversation wandered all over the place. at one point son actually said he enjoyed that it did that, and mentioned that he can't have these types of conversations with his age peers.
it kinda broke my heart.
son is struggling to find a place he fits into, and he has yet to find intellectual peers that he also likes as people. it does not help any that he spend the last couple of years being angry, and that anger came out in the form of heavy sarcasm. not that I think he had any real friends at the place where he took some classes, but I do think he alienated any potential friends there may have been. and son has been so anti-social on top of the sarcasm that he's pushed away the few friends that he has.
he's aware of this, how anti-social he has been. he's the one that brought it up in our conversation. he's wondering if it's at the unhealthy stage or not. I think we both knew that if he's wondering that, it is.
now, I just need to figure out what to do about that...
