Hi Tisha. Sorry you're feeling abandonment and loss. I'm not a parent, and I'm in awe of people who can pull off this often-thankless task.

To be honest, your son's behaviour sounds perfectly normal, to me.

I'm trying to think back to the males in my social group when I was that age, and yes, not-calling-your-mother is what everyone did.

It's all about friends, at that age. And after that, dating. These two things would take up about 75% of a twenty-something's thoughts. Career might take up another 25%? Look! There's nothing left!

I hope you don't mind me being light-hearted about it.

You've done an amazing job, to create a person who can get out there and be popular, go to college, have friends, develop an independent 'self', fall in love.
Thanks for this!
Dalea, TishaBuv
