[quote=Anonymous] OP, you need to get rid of this idea that you are responsible for his happiness. You are most emphatically NOT. That way lies depression, for you. Do your best. Instill in ongoing conversations that you also need to look after yourself and your own happiness and health, and can't always be supporting his. The world does not revolve around him. Self-absorption peaks in adolescence, which is why I'm telling you this now, so you can sensitize him. Is he in therapy or would he agree to go? I don't believe in therapy for everything, but for kids who naturally tend to be oppositional and make it all about them, it can be useful to reset their thoughts and learn that their family members are: A, not out to get them and B: not put on this earth to satisfy their every desire.
