^^ I echo what Tallula states, you're such a great mom in your patience and understanding of S. I'm reading a book now on ACT, haven't got too far into it but it sounds like a process that could be helpful in your sitch. Would your S benefit from someone like a life coach? To inspire him to take his own positive steps? I haven't had any personal experience, but think there is a different branch of T/life coaches maybe it'd help him.
