Hello @Sam3
Responding here as I don't want to cause distress on the other thread. I'm worried about our friend and praying that the no responses over the past couple of days just means she's busy taking care of herself and her fur babies.
So in response...
I don't have a lot of advice other than making sure he has people to talk to. My boy didn't talk to me back then (he does to a certain extent now) in fact we openly talk about where his headspace is and I ask him if he is contemplating suicide. Anyway always here for you Sam and wishing for a massive improvement for your boy xxxx

Trying to be @Shaz51
Just your message has reduced me to tears. Just have difficult days hun. My boy is very demanding and I so could do with a break ☹️
But then I'm only the carer he's the one living with his illness so I just have to get over myself and get on with it. Thanks for asking dear Shaz ❤️
