[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 760825, member: 18958"] Have you yourself spoken with doctors who specialize in the condition? (I don't need to know what it is--but there are so many ways now that physicians are helping men in this way, elderly and paralyzed and other impotent men, be functional sexually. Are you sure you have a realistic understanding of what's possible, that isn't filtered through your son's despair and hopelessness?) If it's a question of impotency or infertility--there are many men in this camp, including in my own family, and there are solutions here, too. What I am trying to say is that you need to know what is medically possible for your son, so that your own mindset is not distorted in the ways that his thinking is--which may be a product in part of his depression--over and above the reality of the medical condition. He is served (and you too), by clear-minded thinking. You don't help him with sympathy and guilt. I know it's hard. I struggle too. I am trying to convey as others on this thread have too, that the more you can separate yourself from the problem, the better it might be for the both of you. I hope I'm not harsh. I don't want to be. I want to support you. [/QUOTE]
