Rapidcycla,
Of course you are helpful, thanks. I actually spoke with my son late last night. He really didn't want to talk, just gave me very short yes/no answers and a lot of "whatever". He sounds very depressed. Yes, that worries me. I'm afraid he'll attemp suicide. His depression seems more ominous than in the past.
I also spoke with his older brother last night. Not helpful. He just makes me feel worse. He always plays the depression card on me "you can't help someone else until you get better yourself". Yeah, I'm depressed but he's totally wrong. He has the gift to talk circles around anyone. If he makes me feel bad, you can imagine how he makes his brother w/sz feel.
