[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 718856, member: 19290"] That's such a nice account. It's so nice that he's accepting the love of a strong young lady. It's funny. I don't know if you think this of your son's situation but my son was able to be kind to me and accept kindnesses from me, via his girlfriend -- in ways that he couldn't without her. He seemed nourished by the fact that I treated her like family because she was far from home in college. When we were in the Midwest visiting respective families over the holidays, they went out in freezing weather and brought back emergen-C when I got sick. It was such a surprise. It was like she helped him reintegrate parts of himself that he had compartmentalized. Maybe it's not surprising that his current spiraling started after he broke up with her. Hopefully that year of living warmly is at least a little ember for him to access [/QUOTE]
