I had two texts from my son yesterday:
“I love you mum, I hope you know that.”
“I’m not OK, I’m fighting this depression, there’s no-one to talk to here.”
I've tried texting him back and phoning but his phone's dead as usual.
Now I need to listen to my own advice about dealing with this sort of thing and knowing that he's survived a few rough winters and that he's probably fine, just having a bad day yesterday, and there's nothing I can do anyway.
I also had a call from my ex’s aunt at the weekend letting me know that my ex-father-in-law, the kids’ grandfather, died on Saturday. The kids hadn’t seen him for around 15 years, but I suppose I’d better let them know. This is likely to complicate things with my son and bring up thoughts of his father, who he also hasn’t seen for 15 years.
Sigh...
