[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 630442, member: 17635"] Add me to the folks who are so very happy for you, COM. There has been progress in so many areas. I, too, think your sister was trying to be supportive while not pretending she has a clue what you and your son are navigating. About twenty years ago, my best friend's (she is now deceased) husband committed suicide. I remember J sharing that her two brothers kept telling her, "You are such a strong person. You are the strongest person we know" while she was crumbling with grief. She said, "I just kept saying, 'No, i'm not'." I think they did not know how to support her except by letting her know they had complete faith in her - and she needed more than that. She needed them to sit up with her and talk and let her cry. And, they were hurting also and they were trying. So much good stuff has been posted in the responses - about outcomes. I want to memorize the [I]Four Fold Way. [/I] Above all, I am encouraged for you and difficult child because things are going better for difficult child right now. His thinking seems to be in a much better place. [/QUOTE]
