[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 502646, member: 11791"] There could be a wide range of things at work here... but at 16, there are fewer options... It could be a mental health issue, hidden disabilities or undiagnosed conditions... OR... it could be some form of insecure attachment. This doesn't have to start at a very young age (some severe forms, do)... but kids can [I]become[/I] detached. And it sounds like, while Dad gave him a very "enriched" life, it wasn't necessarily the stability and consistency needed to maintain a strong, healthy relationship. At some point, the balance tipped, your difficult child became detached enough that he started feeling like nobody was looking out for him, so he needed to look out for himself...?? Maybe?? just a long shot, but... [/QUOTE]
