My son is 16 years old and I love him very much.
Since one year to now he has been crying almost every night, I can hear him since my room is right next to his.
We moved about 10 months ago to a place he cannot see his old friends. Maybe he had a crush on some girl, but I don't think so.
He has never had a girlfriend, not that I know.
When I ask him what will he do for living he always answers he doesn't know, even to his teachers. He loves football (soccer) but he is not good playing it (he says). He also enjoys pro-wrestling but he says he doesn't want to end his life depressed, whitout any family and doing drugs like most of them. He has tried guitar but since he is left-handed he always ends up quitting. I bought him a BMX bike for him to get out of home since he never gets out. He broke his foot on the first day and quit. He always says he cannot do anything right and that he has no tallent or gift.
His sister (who is 14) is very social and says that he has Social Anxiety and Dysthymia, so I put him on the school Psychologist, but he always ends up missing the sessions.
Some weeks ago I was cleaning up his room and I found razor blades inside a book. I've looked to his wrists but there is no sign of cuts, although I found blood on his boxers, so he can be cutting himself on his legs.
He is good at school and he his teachers always tell me that he is super intelligent but shy and introverted so he doesn't participate.
By the way his dad is in France and we are divorced so he doesn't have that male support and attitude that he would probably like.
Please tell what to do and how to help him, I don't want to find my son dead one day. I ask him what's wrong but he always puts on the fake happy face. Should I confront him, tell his dad, move again? Please help me.
