Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Lee Ann: I don't know how old your son is, but when my son was somewhere between 12 and 13, I found him sitting in a pile of pictures of himself that he had cut all to pieces. I was devastated and more than a little frightened. But... his father and I started talking about when we were in Jr. High School, and all the things we were afraid of... and the kids who hated us... and how afraid we were... and in the end, we all cried and we all laughed... and somehow things got better after that. I think he felt much less alone with having to cope with trying to figure life out. Hope things work out as well for you and your son... and by the way... it is definitely better to talk about it than to not bring it up. Talking about it almost always makes it less likely one will hurt themselves, rather than more likely. Your son may be more than a bit worried about you as well!
