[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 104031, member: 805"] Good Morning David and welcome to the board. There are two things that are glaringly apparent to me from reading your posts. The first one is how much you love your son and how much your have struggled to help this boy you love so much. There is no doubt that you have done what you have been able to do. The second thing that is apparent is that you yourself must get help before you can truly help your son. You cannot deal with his issues until you get yours under control. Struggling to even wash and get dressed is a huge sign of depression. Drinking is a sign of depression. Crying at commercials is a sign of depression. The feeling of hopelessness that I read between the lines are signs of depression. If you take each on of those things individually, they may not mean a whole lot. But put them together, and they spell trouble for you. You have such a strong desire to help your son. If you are unhealthy yourself, you cannot effectively deal with his issues. He needs a father who is as strong mentally as you are emotionally. David, please get yourself an appointment and KEEP it! Look at it as helping your son, not yourself if that helps you move forward. What a joy it would be to have a happy, healthy father. You will find, through therapy and probably medications, that you have been in a holding pattern. Kinda like your son - not moving forward but just existing. I pray that you are able to find the help you need so that you can help your son. Your love and desire to support and give him the tools of success are so strong. Be just a little bit stronger and give him this gift at Christmas. Hugs, Sharon [/QUOTE]
