[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 641090, member: 17542"] Lucy, I've been away for a while, but following along on this thread. I am thinking of you this morning, with your socks, coffee and pastries. I think socks are the perfect thing to take. The best thing. Plus yourself. I also believe that ultimately, it is other people who are going to come alongside our precious difficult children and help create the turning point, not us. When they are at their most scared, like us, we want our mothers. We just want that comfort. I am 58 years old, and when I am distraught, the first person I want to run to is my mother. For what? Not really a solution, but for comfort. I think that is what the call to you was about---that mother-comfort. It is so very likely that he has moved past that moment now, and has found some sort of resources or maybe just the passing of time, to get him through that period. I still think a loving face with socks and coffee is a gift of encouragement, and that is a good thing. Please let us know how it goes. Warm hugs, Lucy. [/QUOTE]
