Deb, I'm so glad things are sounding more positive. He should pat himself on the back for taking the steps he has. They are not easy ones to do.

Often when my son was upset with a friend, his friend had know clue why.

I think telling the other guys how he was feeling was a huge action and one that took a lot of courage. You are really hanging yourself out there when you express your feelings. Like golfingmom said in the above quote, guys just think someone will speak up if they want to be included. I know my son has felt left out of groups and if I questioned why he didn't let them know he was interested in xyz, his reply was that he didn't want to be a pest or a "hanger-on". Most often the others are just clueless.
Good news! Glad you posted.
