I appreciate you giving me a glimpse of what it may be like from his perspective - stuff I didn't even think of. I just wish I could spur him on to make positive changes and choices in his life - this standing still while the world goes on by isn't going to cut it. I feel like we're slogging through a swamp of goo at times and right now we can't even lift our feet out of the muck and mire. We've had some heart to heart talks but for the past week or so he seems to have sunk lower into the pit. I suspect it's because school starts next week - which is why it's even more important to get him on some medication that doesn't make him sick. I don't know what to do or say to get him out of the pit - he tells me to shut up and leave whenever I try to talk with him.
