Upwards - Moving Fowards, Tiny Positive Steps

[Upwards]

Our son is poorly so I had to call H to come down so we can take him docs, he's on the sofa with him now.

I didn't mention the email and so he said "I was crying when you rang" so I asked why & he said "I've been crying lots in the past few days, I've given in & accepted who I am, I've been trying to pretend I'm someone that I'm not & been a horrible person. I'm tired of pretending, I just want to be me again" and teared up - I listened & just replied "I'm really glad". He said he'd seen Steve, that it's really helped him & he feels like a huge burden has been lifted because he's finally been able to ask for help & admit that he's in over his head, he said he's ready for face it now.

I didn't ask any questions or really reply, I just listened. I want him to process it in his own time & sure he'll talk if he wants to.
