[QUOTE="myeverything04, post: 501551, member: 13522"] My ex-husband had a very bad obsession with video games so I'm going to throw this one out there just as another idea... could it be that he can be himself and finds these 'video game worlds' and 'video game friends' sorta like another life? Almost like he doesn't feel comfortable with himself in 'real life' so he finds another way to just 'be himself and be excepted?' I know my ex used to play roleplaying games... warcraft, star wars and all those games.... to escape the life we had. He was the only one working, we had a preemie, just bought a house, etc. I know your son wouldn't have stresses such as these, but may other stressers that would want him to escape the real life? Like I said, I'm just throwing this out there and mean no harm. I had no idea this was why my ex played video games all the time until after we were divorced and he finally said he felt excepted and wanted in his video life [/QUOTE]
