My son is 20 years old. He dropped out of high school at 17, and currently has a part-time job at a local supermarket which he seems to enjoy. He suffers with depression and anxiety and although I rarely see it, he (and his mother, from whom I'm separated) have said that he regularly cries in his room at night. He often tells me he is extremely lonely, which is understandable - I don't recall him ever having any friends in school, and since he isnt at college he hasn't had an opportunity to make any more. He has assured me all his co-workers are nice people but he never gets invited out with them and says that they scare him a little. He is currently on therapy and is taking medication for depression. Is there anything else I can do for my son? He has mentioned suicidal thoughts many times before (he first confessed this at nine or ten). via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2AH52dG
