New - Advice needed re 19yr old son, please

Sylvie

My 19year old is finishing his college course shortly. He says he doesn't want to do another course or get a job. He also has no intention of leaving home at any time. Given that he is classed as an adult in law, is there anything I can do or do we have to accept that he is about to turn into a hermit!

  • Can any one suggest how to cope with hurtful comments? My son is 19, diagnosed at 18. He make hurtful comments and even if i tell him his comment has upset me he says he doesnt care! 

    I am struggling to carry on caring for him when he is so unpleasant and ungrateful. He can get very angry, to the point where he scares me.

    Can anyone suggest coping mechanisms so i dont get upset by his lack of caring And aggression.
