He was just absorbing it and when you said it a second time it was like such a weighty responsibility for a 15 yr old to hear it once, nevermind a second time. I know remembering when I was a child, hearing something a second time especially if it was crucially important, grated on me. It made me feel like she didn't trust me, as if I wasn't paying attention to such important things. In short, he's had to grow up fast, becoming an adult, that's why he's trying to take his health in his own hands - you may do things for him but he knows if you don't, he has to. When you tell him things over again, you're treating him like a child, and he doesn't feel like a child any more.

I only know that when I was 15, I wanted to make all my own decisions, despite not being prepared to do so. There is a built-in conflict between mothers and teen-aged sons I think. We males feel the need to BE men, and be regarded as men, even before we are qualified to be them (except in a basic biological sense). It's the illogic of our testosterone doing the talking. I think you are managing a delicate balance pretty well. Of course I don’t know Zac. I only know that when I was 15, I wanted to make all my own decisions, despite not being prepared to do so.

I did get teary eyed, but I am encouraged knowing he's doing as Dr.John is suggesting and taking care of himself to preserve his health. And the way you wrote this, wow, It's real it's raw, it's refined and rounded, a incredibly tough pill to swallow but with all the edges polished enough to make it bearable. The way that you narrated this and laid it out, all I have to say is; Jesus you're a good writer I suppose this taps into my own emotions of the situation, being his brother.
