Re: Sleeping too much
Your boy will lose his grandparents soon .. and that is the circle of life .. his uncles are not great guidance to him so he is being self reliant. Some of those gorgeous gungho pushy females can be a pain in the butt .. high maintenance ... and if she dont love your boy .. he is better off without.
Dont listen to your worst fears .. I know that one too .. thats projection and wont help.
Here is a pic from the same Swedish painter Carl Larssen who did the AppleBlossom tree and little girl watching that I identify with a lot.
I chose it for you. Free life supply of pumpkins! It is has the dignity of the older woman householding and productive. An Yes like @TAB said .. you need to get out more .. just little steps on your terms .. bit by bit.

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks for the male-perspective feedback @TAB ..... it really helps us to not overthink and over-react to what our sons are doing or not doing .....
I'm learning on the job @Former-Member. WH has taught me some things, S1 and S2 other things. They process differently, have different needs - testosterone driven ..... and when we are a bucket of oestrogen and in female melt-down I reckon there's not much scarier on the planet ..... lol .....

Re: Sleeping too much
Well guys like to think not predictable @Faith-and-Hope yet most are ok within a range maybe.. can't believe it. Been getting free gas for 4mths and after swapping an half empty bottle over next one giving up, while in bath was lol.. got hot bath. Got boltcutters yo access side gate, 'fuller' well not empty spares from carport inside yard now, 2 new bottles ordered coming tomorrow was half worst case suspected price plus have gate locked again ok will need upgrade on lock but as good as it was before. Have 5 cylinders floating around that helps 😬 Hows your day? Oh now need new wheels for bottle trolley they died a long time ago back/ribs didn't need to roll bottles out. Needed gas. Oh well.

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks guys, I hope you're right, and I know how important it is to stay calm but also let him know I'm aware, concerned and feel for him. Not sure that helps though. Seems my slightest flinching can be seen as an overreaction and my brain doesn't process things as I'd like or as well as him. One thing I haven't mentioned is the big age gap between his dad & I. His dad is in his late 77 and as physically unwell my parents, my son may lose all three close together (and me too people forget - how am I suppose to not fall apart? I never anticipated or planned my two breakdowns (in my 20s & when my girl died) which ... ... Gosh, best not think about it, I'll do my best and whatever will be will be.
Maybe find a way to up my game a bit - try be more proactive in maintaining my own stress levels - more Meditations, try lose weight, walk... ... Gosh, crying thinking about it. Time for a cuppa.
Really appreciate all of your comments and time and pics, really, means a lot xox

Re: Sleeping too much
No pressure @Former-Member just try not to stress. Have done vaguely similar things in past worrying inordinately about others while not about self was odd when realised it. Blag Dogs

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member 
I've been out at group today.
Sorry to read that you're having a bad day.
I understand that you are worried about your son. Quite often my girl shares things with me that cause great concern. But I am glad that she tells me.
It's great that your son can share his feelings with you too, not everyone can share their feelings with their parent/s.
I would encourage him to talk about his feelings as often as possible (without being pushy or obvious). Having a listening, understaning ear would be a huge help for him.
I'm excited for you that you are going to stay with him this weekend. It's a good time for him to share his feelings again. xoxo
I need a cuppa too, Earl Grey coming up for you @Former-Member
