He's Just Not That Into You

[mamabird]

So, what is the best way to handle H now that his depression and this mother issue is starting to take center stage? I don't plan on doing anything differently, but I wanted to see what others thought. Is there something else I should be doing for him?

We've been through this cycle before, except maybe then I wasn't able to recognize it as a period of depression. I seem to remember his mother playing into it then as well. H is functional but very withdrawn. One thing H said in our MC session was that he feels very angry and he turns it in on himself. I told that to my IC and he said that's the definition of depression - anger turned inward.

I am going to be busy right up until Thanksgiving - working and cooking and cleaning starting today. But I would like some advice on how I could be most helpful to H right now.
