[QUOTE="Steely, post: 462310, member: 3301"] There could be a multitude of reasons why he says one thing and does another - most of it boiling down to probably being at conflict within himself. He surely wants to do those great things, but cannot find the confidence, or initiative to do them. I know how hard it is to kick a kid out - and how hard it is when they then chose to live with their Dad. *sigh* However, for Matt, it took him 3 months before he got completely over "living the dream" haha at Dad's house - and that was a huge eye opener for him. I think he had always fantasized that living with Dad would solve everything - instead he ended up in the worst darkness of his life. It was a big turn around for him in his life. As for what to do with the emptiness inside - stay BUSY. Get into counseling if you are not already there. Support groups, arts and crafts groups, take up some new hobbies, etc. I am not the poster child for dealing with emptiness, or loneliness, so I will stop rambling - just know we are here for you.
