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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, thanks to my son's inability to keep his trap shut, and natural ability to piss everybody off, our landlord is now not renewing our lease at the end of the month, and went out of his way to let me know it is all my son's fault, and he can’t wait to personally kick us both into the street. FML
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
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 got the last of his furniture delivered and finally moved into his first house. This boy has exactly one chair, a massive armchair pointed at the TV. When I asked him where the hell visitors are supposed to sit, he said that visitors generally won’t be welcome, even me. 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, I found out my son was never accepted into the local university two years ago. He actually went out and got a job, and only lied about it so he could keep living in my house rent-free. The conniving bastard makes more than I do at my minimum-wage job. FML
Today, my son sent me a very frank text telling me my husband is no longer welcome at his house, because, “He knows what he did, if you want to know then ask him.” This isn’t going to be good. 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 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, despite the fact that he knows I need help, my recently turned 18 year-old son found an apartment and moved out, leaving me alone with my three toddlers. When I asked what I’m supposed to do for childcare, he just said, “Not my kids, not my problem. Ask their dads. Bye.” FML

So your son wants to be left alone. Honor his wishes. He will more than likely eventually want you to come over, but you need to relax and give him what he wants since he is an adult

Not everyone was treated badly to not have family around. I joined the Navy right out of high school to get away from family, and they didn’t treat me badly. Some people are loners who simply are happy being alone.

Wanting to be left alone is one thing. If there's no known address, this guys gonna be one of those ones they find dead after 3 weeks, maybe even longer.

If that’s what he wants, that’s fine. I have a neighbor who only talks to me and she never has anyone over to her house or talks to anyone outside of work. Some people simply do not want to be sociable

So how bad did you and your family treat him?

But, there is a point to be made. If OPs son will work 3 jobs, being around many people, just to get out and away "to be alone", then there is something more going on. I am not saying the OP abused the son. I am saying, however, there is some good reason he wants to not even tell the parents. It could be he wants privacy he never had. Or OP may be bad with money and he wants a more stable life. Heck, maybe he wants to play in his own private pleasure room with whomever he chooses as his significant other without Mom judging him.

I grew up with 2 brothers, my sister lived with us off and on. My birth father was living with his GF for years and her kids (good relationship with father and step father). as soon as I had steady work and decent pay I got my own place. and I did ignore stop ins if they didn't tell me before hand. I simply like having my own space, and growing up crowded, i like being left alone after work most days. I visit family all the time, me and my brother bought a house and have people over. But I get annoyed when people are in my room, it's MY space. he will most likely come around when he gets a taste of being left alone. and I bet he will still talk to you, he just wants something of his own.

This is my dream... I'm a fan! - he wanted something, planned and went for it. That's all one parent could wish - a child who goes after his dreams regardless what the parents, family etc think. I spent nearly a year looking for a course that would get me a job that doesn't involve.human interaction, then I quit my career of 10yrs and took a year.of unemployment. I succeeded this year, now I'm three years from buildibg my own house middle of nowhere, literally 20-35km of no humans depending which direction. It doesn't mean you won't have a relationship it.means your son has his own space where he can distance himself without feeling guilty or anxious. I dislike people, to the point it takes me days to recover from a phone call and I need to pop pills. But when I'm left completely alone I'm the best person, worker, friend.

Be glad he's moving out considering all the ones who aren't.

Right.... feel like OP is leaving out a lot of information which most likely about them being the reason
