[quote=Anonymous]What this boy is lacking are male codes. I lost my father at 15 and had a mother who ended up ‘marrying’ me - using me to fulfill her emotional needs due to a dead marriage. This is Common in families like this - read Silently Seduced for full take. I would say encourage him to join the military. He will be in a (largely) male culture with solid male figures for mentors, have funds to immediately physically separate from family at 18 and have funds for counseling for the (likely ‘married to mom’ scenario). Tough conversation that you likely won’t be in a position to have - but this boy is facing a tough, tough road. [/quote]
