[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643959, member: 1550"] Just tell the story. Read a few posts to see what people share. Depression is a medical condition and nobody's fault. I have suffered from it all my life and am on medication for it. It runs in my family big time. So does anxiety. Those conditions are very treatable with the right help and if the person who suffers WANTS to get better and WILL get help rather than resisting it. That's always a tough one because we can't make our grown kids go for treatment so we kind of have no choice but to leave it to them to decide. Is more going on? Drugs? Any trauma in his life? Did he do well in school? What is his life like now? What are you doing about your own life right now or is it revolving around him? Any other kids? Any stealing, violence, lying, that stort of criminal stuff? I have to leave soon, but will be back for a while in a few hours. [/QUOTE]
