[QUOTE="Malika, post: 486255, member: 11227"] I guess Matt does need to manage his own feelings but that would obviously feel overwhelming to him right now. You need both to care for him and to care for yourself - what would that consist of? I am sure it helps and heals him to hear "I love you". I don't know that you need be or are called to be a second counsellor. My own sense of it would be that you could redirect him to his own resources [I]without fobbing him off or rejecting him[/I]. Maybe only a mom can do that for a child, I don't know. I hope that his counsellor will help him find what he needs within himself to stand and walk. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
