    My kid is almost 27, and he hasn’t been on a date since he was six. The little girl down the street, with very strange parents, asked him over for a play date.

    (No, I don’t say anything to him about it. It’s none of my business.)

      Maybe you should check in with him, make sure he isn’t feeling lonely or depressed. As long as he’s okay with it, great, but if there’s support he needs, don’t assume he can handle it all alone.

      It’s none of my business

      Isn’t it, though? I’m in my 40’s and still rely on my family for advice, and to continue to grow and develop as a person. I have a lot to learn, and I think other people’s thoughts and experiences are helpful for getting through things.
