Hello @Anastasia
I offer my apologies for not seeing this post earlier and I also offer my admiration for how you have provided your son with support & supervision/observation as much as feasible. Keep optimistic & keep the door open (figuratively & literally!) even when he's at his father's house. How old is your lad now?
My 14 yo seems a bit better but as you say it's hard to judge sometimes. He appears to no longer SH & the melatonin for sleep has helped (tablets for low iron still taking effect). GP reckons depression can present as boredom in this age group 😳 She claims to have seen heaps of adolescents & doesn't feel particularly concerned in his case - next appointment in 3 weeks from last. Yesterday he got an academic distinction award for this year so we've told him it's a great effort considering everything.
Take care of yourself & thanks so much for taking time & effort to for care for us

Hi Beautiful it's really good to hear from you.
No need to apologize I understand all too well how busy life gets.
Thank you for your lovely message, your words warm my heart.
I am so pleased to hear about your boy, it sounds like you are on the right track and an academic distinction is incredible! Well done to him. Doesn't it make a difference when our kids are doing ok. Sending love to you my friend. Thanks you again for your message xxx❣️🌺😊💐💞❤️
