@Keaira, I know right where he is I have been there myself. It not a fun place to be. being hard on him is the last thing he needs from me. sometimes being a comfert to someone hurts you but i would rather be in the thorn bush with him. He going to come out ok, I did so will he. he is strong he just do not know it yet. just as I did not know at the time I was going throught it.
@Angelique1994, I understand what you are saying. This was my first thought but then I remembered how I felt when I was in his shoes in my early 20's and was acting the same way as him. I wanted to be myself but did not know how to and thinking I had to conform to fit in with those around me. when you are young and are trying to put the puzzle together and they all look the same to you. you try to put that one piece in many places just to realize it does not go in any of them. evenually he will put it down and try something new because he will see that what he is doing does not work.
The funny thing is that piece that you had so much truoble with is the last one to go in and becomes the easyist one to place because it was so hard to begin with you leave it alone until the end.
