My son has basically ended a friendship

40. Thank you.

I, of course, like to think he's ABOVE "normal"! lol....

One thing you said, though I'd like to address - and I know this sounds a bit defensive - but my son goes to his dad's or friends' houses often, and he is EXTREMELY involved in other activities - nearly every night and weekend, so I'm alone quite a bit. Sometimes, when he IS home I'm on here because he's doing homework or wants to watch some sport thing I have no interest in. (Like the same classic football game three times! lol)

He's a good kid and I'm not all that great a parent sometimes - hell most of time. He's just who he is. He's had some hard times. Had to adjust to moving and dealing with the "real world". Sometimes the real world can be mean and heartless. I think when he sees that happening, he wants to fix it for others because he knows what its like to be treated badly. Dismissed. Pre-judged. Misunderstood. Pigeonholed into a role he'd never fit. Talked about, taunted, and teased. He just keeps on going, 'cause that's who he is.
