Heart broken teenage son. Any advice?

My son went through the same thing when he was 16. It is very hard for a mom to see her child suffer the pains of a broken heart. Your son probably is hesitant to talk to you about something so private to him. Is his dad involved? Maybe his dad can have a talk with him. Usually son's open up more to their mom's about this because they are afraid their dad will think they are whimpy to be sad over a girl. It took some time for my son to eventually open up to me about his hearbreak. Best thing to do is ask him if anything is the matter. Tell him you are available if he wants to talk about it. Then just let him alone. Once he does talk to you about it, just listen, do not judge him or be critical of his feelings. just valifdate how he feels, show him you understand, and reasure him that he will feel better one day.Try to make sure though that he does not isolate himself too much, and that he is staying healthy by eating regular meals. I can understand your concern, but most young men get through this just fine. Good luck to you both!
