    Oh no, Ziggs, Im so sorry to hear that! Good for you getting help and realizing that you need it. I had many of those dark days myself a few years ago and I've come out the other side, so it can be done.

    I hope they give you the support you need, and Im sure your son will be grateful to you in years to come.
