He is so depressed, I don't know what to do to help him. He has not many friends, because the ones in high school were "losers" and he has recently changed directions and realized that. Thank God for that at least. He has lots of family in the area, but it's not the same. He wants to meet people his own age, or in the same situation, but doesn't know how. He is so lonely. Any suggestions? On the days that he doesn't have his son he goes absolutely crazy. Needs to do something, but doesn't know where to go. Doesn't have a whole lot of money to spend. Please help.
P.S. - Amandawil and LadyHewit - thanks so much

He may need counseling and help for his depression... He also needs to see a medical doctor for his depression and possibly be put on medication for it.... The best support he can have right now is you and his family and friends to help him through this hard and very painful time!!!! Be sure to let him know he is in my prayers and thoughts:) Here comes lots of hugs to all of you today and I pray for encouragement and healing for your son and this situation... By the way you are welcome:) Maybe you can do fun things with him like take him out to a movie or dinner... Does he have guy friends who he can hang out with?

I have a son the same age, he is also in a relationship and has a beautiful little girl, i know he is in pain right now, just try to be there for him and let him know you are, i am glad he is away from the wrong people, however i feel if he doesn't talk to someone about how he feels he may be tempted to stray to where he was before, i really hope and pray not, he needs to get out and find a job (if he dosen't have one). And just go to the mall, or movies etc.. maybe church, and the more he trys to do things out side of the house he will start to reconnect with others again, and he will find someone more deserving. Good luck to you, god bless.

Oh dear, this is a tough one huh? As a mother I know that you want to stop the pain so bad. But you know that time will only take care of that part. As far as what to do , does he work? That can help him meet new people and help get his mind off of the bad. Does he attend college? He will meet new people and they have a lot of sports and activitys going on. Join a baseball team. Go bowling. Look in the local paper they have singles groups where they all get together and talk and do things. Churches also have those. My cousin, a guy lost his wife the same way and met a much better one through a church singles group. They are still married to this day.

Sorry about the situation your son is in. May I suggest getting him into a therapy group? This isn't because I want him to meet people or that I think he's a loser. It will help him to talk it over with a professional (who's in charge of the group) and others who could actually help him deal with his depression. Good luck and God bless!

Judging from all of your misspelled words, you no longer very well knowledgeable and in all likelihood do not make a lot money, which extremely places you in problematical concern. The others are suitable, he's a loser and extremely egocentric, throw him out, see in the experience that your father and mom allow you to bypass lower back in until eventually you'll get your life straighten out. adult adult males are tremendous to have round which could help you boost your household, yet adult adult males who're only donating sperm, yet no longer keen to assist out with all of the different issues that it takes to augment a relatives and be a daddy, are not authentic adult adult males. once you've get entry to to his telephone, pull his textual content messages, any pictures, etc... from his files and take those to the police (would go with to the contact the phone organization quickly for a number of this preparation). What he's doing (if he's having sex) is illegitimate and he ought to bypass to penal complicated. All he's doing is messing up yet another ladies life like he did with you. i'd not be too disillusioned with the 15 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous, she only isn't previous sufficient to comprehend what is going on. To her that is same to a junior intense weigh down (through the way, the position are her father and mom in all of this)? good luck, and be particular to illustrate on your household they're going to be even more desirable substantial now that you've yet another new child on the way!

Sharron,
What a tough stop to be in. A hurting child is never easy regardless of there age. Once a parent always a parent!
I would suggest getting counseling.
There are local churches that offer help. They even have group outings where it is be social.
