[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 487757, member: 1550"] As much as I'd like it all to be great, J. still has suicidal depression and will not tell his parents. His grandmother suspects but he gets angry when she brings it up. Once J. did not text Jumper for a long time and she grew frantic that he had killed himself and texted his friend to make sure he was ok. His friend got in touch with his stepmother and found out that J. was fine, but J. was furious that she told his friend about his problem. He does not like anyone to know. He always tells her, "It's my problem and I have to deal with it." But he really doesn't. He was not brought up to talk about his feelings. I have a feeling he was brought up more to suck it up and deal with it (whatever the "it" is). Culturally, his family is very different from ours. They are farmers and old school. There are some wonderful things about it and he has a fabulous work ethnic and the will to be the best at everything. He is an over-achiever and his father is hard on him, but I really think he feels it is for J's own good. But J. has no idea how to communicate. Jumper told me he said that he tells her more than he has ever told anybody else in his life, including his family. J's birthmother is mentally ill. I am guessing she too gets depressed, but he doesn't like to talk about her so Jumper doesn't know much about her. I am hoping he seeks help because Jumper says it gets really bad at times for him. So he isn't really feeling good about himself, but he IS excited about getting into his college, so that's one good thing. [/QUOTE]
