"Well, who does understand you?" And my son looked at him and said, "Well, you. And my mom."
You are on the right path.
The train, was handled beautifully. Teenagers see everything as revolving or concerning them. Most kids don’t even want to be seen with their parents when we drop them off somewhere with the car. Doing something to stand out, son had typical response. He will have another response, eventually, in years from now.
Be that fantastic role model for him. He is watching and responding. He knows you understand him, and that is a good step towards him understanding you.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
