[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any number of things could be going on with him, from the relatively benign to the very bad. Have you considered setting him up with the opportunity to work with a school or mental health counselor at least briefly? In my half century of experience it strikes me as a little odd for a kid to express a hatred for love and to be so withholding of affection even with a beloved parent. There is such a diversity of personality types and some of them do come with avoidant issues re: intimacy. If your son is on that end of the spectrum of human personality, it could really help him moving forward in life to work on his issues around attachment and intimacy.
