[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP. It would hurt to feel like your child accused you of being a molester. However, is it possible in this case he was more saying “in someone else that behavior would be an assault”?  It seems like he’s trying to implement ideas about physical sovereignty plus trying to signal that he’s not a little kid, and it just came out badly and garbled. Try to scale back your reaction and talk to him, assuming that he doesn’t really think of you as a child molester. [/quote]

You both might be really wound up about him going to college.

YOU: sad that your little boy is leaving and your relationship may never be as close as it once was.

HIM: confused/worried about the things that guys can be accused of at college. Perhaps even playing out/processing some consent  training that he took or read.

I do think you over-reacted. Do you think you have anticipatory empty nest?

I get sad and irritable when I know my kid is about to leave. Because I prefer having us all together.

This will pass with time.[/quote]
