[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 724675, member: 13542"] PiscesMom, I am so so sorry about your son....What a scary scenario for you to go through. As everyone has mentioned, don't neglect your own needs now, make sure you are supported and nurtured through this. I understand about what to say to others about your son......I opted to not share much with most folks, often rather than compassion, there was judgement...... and clearly, what is needed is empathy, kindness, understanding and compassion. If I am asked about my daughter my usual response is, "she's still struggling." Most often that ends any further dialogue. You may already be aware of NAMI, but just so you know, the National Alliance on Mental Illness may be able to provide you with information, resources, guidance and support. I'd encourage you to seek out support for YOU now. They have very good courses for parents. We're here for you PiscesMom, you're not alone....we'll circle the wagons around you.... Sending prayers for your son, for you, for your family......big warm hugs for you..... [/QUOTE]
