[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 113156, member: 3626"] Yeah, I'd take those letters as being slightly manipulative. My daughter used to send the same kind -- I'll accept I have to be here and can't leave yet and, at the same time, be doing stuff that was not quite acceptable by her Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s rules. He's going through the appropriate steps. Way To Go on seeing the doctor! Not sure why you felt it was humiliating. David, if you had the beginning stages of diabetes, would you hesitate in seeing a doctor? Depression is a true chemical imbalance. There are things you can do like have a good diet, exercise, get sleep, but sometimes it takes more. The medications will help you get back in balance. They aren't permanent. You should also consider seeing a therapist. Talk therapy can really help you discover things about yourself. You might be surprised how good you can feel when seeing a good therapist. Do give it a try -- it will help with the depression, the turmoil and confusion of dealing with your son and family situation. You also need to find a life for you. Not just Justin and work, but social interactions, even -- dare I say it -- dating! If not for you, for Justin. He needs to see what healthy relationships are. How people should interact with friends, how to draw limits and be able to say no and accept no, how to treat members of the opposite sex, what it means to care for someone outside of the family. I'm glad things are improving for you. You're doing a great job of being a great father. More men could take lessons from you. Keep it up. Best wishes for 2008 -- may Justin grow and learn in a positive manner, may you be happy and healthy. May you both be blessed with many good times to come. [/QUOTE]
