This morning I apologized for hurting his feelings on Friday by not talking more with him to find out how he was doing. He's just so vulnerable. I'm looking at this as a blessing to have the opportunity to support someone in a pay it forward kind of way, with the hope that some day someone will be kind to manster.
So get this. He tells me this morning "by the way I think I have it"... I was like "what, the flu"... he was like no... I said "AS?" And he said "yes" in a downtrodden kind of way. Apparently the counselor who I didn't think got "it", did. She gave him a book to read about it and he said "yeah, I read it and I'm pretty sure about it now". So I've been trying to explain that it isn't a bad thing and actually understanding it may help bring more self acceptance. I told him there were gifts that came along with being wired in this way. He's hungry for this kind of dialogue. He's 29 years old (a kid to me) and just now starting to figure out why he is the way he is.
