but then she explained resilience can be worked as a skill...and it made sense. but someone like my son has to want to get better for it to work

your son Bluey C....he has his own mind his own experience....he is superbly resilient according to his abilitiies his perception his understanding....

the love from his dearest mother is not a factor here it's the baby the boy the man he knows what I mean it's the things he clenches his fists in private and the tears he drops when you aint looking this is him all his stuff....

he loves you

I never wanted to get better until I discovered that the things around me won't either......and thats the emotional landscape beyond you Bluey C...

you are a good mum....

he loves you

you are universally lovable

I would love you if I was your boy

it's all ok
