I'm sorry you have to watch your son go through this. Any child's pain becomes their mother's.

I had to watch my oldest son go through the same pain at that age. For some reason, when they hit puberty and can't handle life, they fall into a deep chasm. Therapy didn't work for my son then and he refused to take meds. His grades fell and didn't want to socialize back then.

He just made 27 last week and he's finally made some breakthrough within the last year. He's married with 2 kids now and seems to be a different person. Again, it's hard to be distant with our kids sometimes when they're suffering especially when we don't feel in control of the situation.

Good luck and hang in there! You have us for support.
