MLC or just an EA?

Definitely I don't want to act like his mother, I think I did too much of that pre-bomb times. He did catch up though, to be fair. He still does have issues though with self confidence (or else why should be MLC?) and tells me he feels inadequate, is not content with his achievements (which is actually quite a lot).
Maybe after months of learning how to keep my mouth shut and not offer an opinion I am no longer used to it. That means my changes are now ingrained, as I used to be such a verbal person.
I do believe though that the grief phase has to be fully felt so as to have an impact. I told him he has to look into himself, and that he is an intelligent person, I am confident he will be able to deal with it.
If I see him really succumbing though I haven't thought that out yet.
I do still show him though that I care, in little ways, by helping him with small thigs, by gentle touch, small, nonR talks.
