There is not a single, more helpless feeling. No matter what professional help you seek. No matter how proactive you are. No matter how supportive you try to be.
No matter what you do.
Than having a child that is in the midst of some sort of emotional crisis.
The only thing you can do?
Is to keep doing what your doing. To keep hoping that this G-D that you don’t believe in will hear you. To keep hoping that SOMEONE will be able to help him. To keep hoping that he’ll “snap out of it”. To keep hoping that it’s “just a phase” even though you know this phase has been around since pregnancy.
To keep hoping that with the right help he’ll be OK.
I have no greater heartache in my life. Than when my child is in agony.
I just want to make it better. And I can’t. Because he knows something is wrong. He knows he is feeling horrible inside. Yet he can’t figure out exactly why.
So I will just hold my breath until we can figure it out. So we can help him.
My heart. Is breaking.

I know how you feel. I understand. I would help if I could – perhaps knowing that others understand is a help. I hope so. If a man’s point of view would help – just email me – I would happily give you my number – lou.lohman at gmail dot com.

We went through a bullying episode this summer that made me want to tear my hair out. My son was being tortured by another boy and was just going crazy over it. That made me want to tear my hair out. It tore me up to see him like that.
Sometimes all we can do is give them the tools to get through things and then let them go through it.

SO sorry! No matter what age our children are when we see them in pain it is unbareable! Hang in there and he will be okay! Just knowing that his mom cares about him and is always trying to communicate will eventually help the situation! Teenagers are so difficult just remember his brain is not done making connections and changing it sfilled with teen angst!!! keep supporting him and loving him:)

I feel your pain and helplessness…..
when my daughter was in college we got the call that every parent dreads….
she had been handed a pepsi at a party with the date rape drug in it.
She had been attacked and woke up in her apartment the next day, terrified.
You can imagine her pain and ours….
it still bothers me many, many times….
she has recovered and is in a wonderful relationship now and pregnant with her first child (it has been over 15 years since that happened). But it affected her and us greatly.
A great deal of pain that as a Mother, I was helpless to help her from….
I pray for you and send you {{hugs}} and love….

I’ve been in that exact position with our son. It was the most terrifying time of our lives. But, the worry will last forever.
