Have any of you experienced, or heard of….

…men going through a midlife crisis at the age of 32?
I always thought it happened later in life, but maybe not…?
So, in November my son and his wife split up and while they BOTH are being so very immature and acting despicably to each other (it has been so very ugly and nasty!) but my son is exhibiting some VERY disturbing thoughts, desires and actions. He’s not even the man I thought I knew. (For example, the latest is that he is going to just walk away from her AND the kids…says she can have his money, the house, everything in it, the kids…he will give up, and leave them all to some better life which he says they will have without him)
I am trying so very hard to determine whether or not this is really who he is or if it could be something more, something deeper in him.

I am absolutely heartbroken by his behaviours and I feel the need to understand it on some level.
And yes, I am imploring him at every turn to get some therapy/help and fight someone to talk to…I’m not just accepting this as it is, at least not until I have exhausted all options and am left with no other choice but to accept it 🤦‍♀️

Have any of you some insight or wisdom you might share? Something perhaps I hadn’t thought of??
I need some help on this one

I would think he needs to see a Dr, get a head CT and some labs done to see if there is an organic reason behind his sudden personality shift

@TexChik I mentioned that to him today too (although just bloodwork not the CT) You know, your comment made me realize something…he started working out really heavy a while ago…and taking all kinds of supplements and pre-workout stuff….i wonder….??? Can testosterone mess with his psyche like that???

@ImpeccablyImperfect Possibly. Hypogonadism is the usual result of taking too much Testosterone. If there were some prohormones in the mix too, mood changes were known to occur, and soon the FDA banned those supplements, mostly for the liver damage they were known to cause, but they also were causing avascular necrosis in the hip joints of men years after they stopped taking them.
