I wish I could get my son to read this, Yana. I'd send it to him if I thought he would. He's suffered from depression for a VERY long time. I was one of those enabling Baby Boomer parents that did my son an injustice by planning things for him and not making him follow through when he started things on his own. He has dyslexia and is ADHA. I spent him to a private school for awhile and had him in special ed classes. As a single parent I did everything I could to give him a good life. Sadly, I did too much. He's 45 and he's a mess. He says he's just now finding out about his condition and now he understands why he struggled so much in school and why he was so miserable. I took him to a phycologist when he was 12. He was given anti-depressents. Now he's on 13 different medications for his physical and mental issues. I've begged him to turn his care over to God. He knows it's the only reason I'm sane and still married. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Without faith there is no hope. Sadly, my son refuses to embrace Christ and he has zero hope. It's torture for me as his mother. Thanks again for sharing this. God bless you Yana.
