Today, my son has always been antisocial but ever since he bought his first house he has seemingly disappeared behind its walls, never lets anybody visit, and has broken off contact with everybody he knows. Were it not for his coworkers telling me he’s at work everyday, I’d think he was dead. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my son apparently has no interest in having a life. He goes from his tiny one-bed flat to work, then back home again to play with his computer. It’s a good job, so he can afford a life, but he has no friends, never dates or goes anywhere, he even gets his shopping delivered. What can I do? FML
Today, my son has decided he doesn’t want children, or pets, or friends, or a girlfriend, or to visit his living relatives, except for me. I’m scared that once I’m dead he’ll disappear into his house and never come out until the neighbours notice the smell after he’s dead. FML
Today, my son hates people so much he's working three jobs to be able move out and pay for his own place. He got the keys today and when I asked if he was having a housewarming party, he told me he’s not giving his address out to anyone, and no one is invited, ever, not even me. FML
Today, my son no longer tries to sneak in and out of the house at inappropriate times. Now, he just brazenly walks out, ignoring me when I ask where he’s going, then walks back in at like 4 in the morning, and again ignores me because he’s still on his phone to someone. FML
Today, my wife and I realized that we made a huge mistake in allowing our son to stay behind and live with my parents when we had to move cross-country due to work. Our lives are so empty without him and we're missing out on watching him grow up, but he refuses to come live with us. FML
Today, my son screamed at me to fuck off. Apparently, because he only gets one day off a week, he’s sick of me saving up all my projects and forcing him to help me on that one day. He’s now barricaded himself in his room with a big DO IT YOURSELF on the door. FML
Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him. FML
Today, my son is a real ass. My mother died and he literally only booked off half a day to attend his own grandmother's funeral, doesn’t plan to spend time with me after the burial, and since he booked it, all he has done is complain about the three meetings he’s going to miss that morning. FML
Today, I found out that my son had sold his house key to one of his friends for half a packet of gum. Now there is someone out there who I have never met with full access to my house. My son is 16. FML
Today, my son asked if there was a way to make parenting easier. I sarcastically told him he could be a deadbeat who sees his kid every two weeks. He must have thought I was serious because he broke up with his girlfriend and baby, turned up at my door expecting to have his old room, and told my wife it was my idea. FML

Honestly, I'd need more detail to officially vote on an FML like this because without knowing more details of circumstance, we are all left to just make assumptions.

Sounds like his family may have been very intrusive when he was growing up, never got any time to himself, always asked to do things etc. now he has his own place, he’s finally just chilling out, being able to do his own thing, when and how he likes. But could also be depression, so keep an eye on things just in case

Honestly, this one matches almost perfectly with this one. https://www.fmylife.com/article/fortress-of-solitude_381970.html

Who cares if he is antisocial? He is happy, leave him be. Not everyone likes being around other people.

I hope you mean "asocial." (Said in that nasal tone of voice people say, "I hope you mean ex-boyfriend.") If he's antisocial, you ought to force yourself into the house to make sure he's not building bombs or hoarding guns 'n ammo. If he's asocial, just go ahead and leave him the **** alone.

Antisocial is very different than what you are describing. You may want to look up the definition.

Let him be. If he wants to do his own thing, that's his business, not yours.

Chances are you were a terrible parent. My parents said I was antisocial but im reality I stopped talking because they would always steamroll everything about me, they did everything they could to ensure I knew I didn't have a voice. Most of the time when kids cut ties with there parents it's because of how they were treated growing up. Family isn't blood. This is 100% your fault
