[quote=Anonymous]OP it was very wise of you to teach out to the pediatrician and to be open to counseling. Even if he didn't lose the friend group counseling would be the best place to get support for the divorce. It is the rare teenage boy you can "lean on" for that type of support. They don't have the maturity for that. In most cases the friend group is more of a needed buffer and distraction and that is important too.

I agree with so much suggested-get involved with activities to find new friends, get a summer job. Does he play sports. That is such a great outlet and serotonin boost.

I would not reach out to other parents. Teens can be deceptive and they might make him the villain even if it's more about them dumping him for not being x,y,z enough. Maybe he said some stupid things. Maybe he knows and doesn't want to tell you. Doesn't matter. He needs to be forming more connections. As an adult there will be times he drifts from friend groups due to moves, new jobs, or whatever. He needs practice finding new friends and building a life.[/quote]
