Is there's anything left of everything we had...

[Not Quitting]

Sorry to hear about what your S is going through It is hard for our kids. I expect the school will be more sympathetic.
You could make your H's meeting with S13 with a more positive slant. Tell your S that he should ask his dad about the family history and family crest. Just a thought

S13 actually has to interview his parents so your idea is going to happen. He's going to interview me tomorrow morning and his dad on Sunday when he comes to visit.

The school have been pretty good so far. His home room teacher has updated the guidance counsellor so they are both prepared for S13 needing some quiet time away from class or time to talk with someone outside the family about his feelings. He's actually pretty good at talking to me about them as well but not so much with H. The home room teacher apologized to me saying that its just a routine assignment they use as a way of getting to know their students better. I've reassured her that I don't have a problem with it.

He's got all weekend ahead of him and I'll make sure we have plenty of quality mom & son time. My sisters are both coming over tomorrow afternoon or evening, along with my youngest nephew, and S13 is looking forward to seeing them. Neither of them live locally so we haven't seen either of them for a few months. Mini family reunion, and none of the Hs or SOs are going to be there either.
