    Really need advice.

    Thank you for your advice. I have talked with my son. He did say he felt a lot of pressure to keep her from hurting herelf while they were dating.

    So my son went to partial today and yesterday without complaint. I went to my first parent support group meeting a lot of stories sound the same.

    I feel like giving up on him

    Thank you for responding and not judging. My son is currently 17. The thing was is that even though we were dealing with depression before I always thought we had a good relationship.

    I feel like giving up on him

    Hi, I am new to the group and I am sure I will upset some people by saying this, but after our last family therapy session I feel no hope of re-connecting to my son. We have battled depression/anxiety for years. 90% of the time I was the only parent because my husband was at work, or to...
