I believe you stated your daughter was in counseling but is your son?

He's not. He doesn't want to talk about it much at all. He appears to be handling the sitch by trying to improve himself as much as possible, likely to help save the M. After D17 told me she had been talking to him about W BSD, I asked him how he was doing and said I knew we were going through tough times. He said he had his "own unique philosophy for coping", and that if he just waited a couple of months, everything would end up for the better. I did call his school counselor and tell her what is going on.

Thanks June for your detailed replies about your personal experiences; its so helpful.
