In a way I agree with Kalni. However, to continue the analogy, throw him a life perserver (aka get him to a C). Do'nt go in yourself. You can't save him yourself.
Kalni, there is no right answer and I can't say I am right to tell BBJ to tell her son right now. I only know that kids know there is an issue and confusion at that age isn't a good thing. I am not a therapist and I don't even play on on TV. It's just my opinion.
