I am very proud of your son. He has described depression quite well and yes, mlc is a mixture of depression (mainly) and personality change all rolled up into one big crisis.

I'm very proud of you! You've come a long way and your son is giving you some very valuable information.

You most definitely can enjoy the roses, but the thorns are something you can't control.

Keep up the good work. Listen to what your son is telling you because he is spot on w/the information.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
