Very sad. The saddest thing that hit me about it was that it took 18 lonely years to find people he had something in common with. I guess so many of our kids don't find "their people" until college and many never do.
That really strikes a chord because My DD17 just found her perfect fit college against all odds and when I saw her there with the other bright engaged students, well, her light just came back on. It was like the she came out of a coma that she had slowly slipped into throughout the last 6 years of a lousy school fit. I had had no idea how lonely she had been.
