Sorry you are feeling so low SF. This board brings it home to you that you are not the only one suffering, I always felt i am the only one feeling this bad as everyone i know seems to have sucha good and happy life but reading this board makes me realise just how much some of us are suffering and struggling just to get through each day. Life is just so unfair sometimes though. I have struggled with depression/social phobia most of my life and now it looks like i have to see my son go down the same route yet others have never suffered and their children never will. Sorry if i sound full of self pity but k
just wanted my son to be happy so at least my life has not been totally invain.

imported_goldie, I think both you and your son need to get some kind of support network set up. It must be so hard trying to do it alone and it's no wonder you are feeling like this. I bet you're both worrying about each other. Does your son talk to you/confide in you about what's going on in his life? Did you speak with him about the empty vodka bottle that you found?

Please don't blame yourself for your sons unhappiness. It isn't your fault. You can help him though, encourage him to talk to someone and just be there for him (which I'm sure you are). You come across as a lovely person and therefore a great Mum!

gillette, good luck for the job on wed. xx

I am very optimistic.
I don't know why but whenever I talk to agencies on phone about a job, my whole demeanour changes and I become this confident, competent person. I've never been like that - always fell into jobs and hated the whole interview/validation process. But "there is a touch a destinee" - pirates of the caribbean - about this all. I truely believe that. I feel I can walk into the interview and bang the table with my fist and say - "you're hiring me. So cut the carp and do it!"..............but I won't :rotfl:

Sorry to hear that DD, SF and goldie are suffering (amongst others) xxxx
It is true that parents cause great harm to their children. But there are two factors to it. Firstly, it's not just what a parent does, but how the child is wired up to respond to things. In this way you can't plan an approach that is right for any child anyway. And secondly, certain things that you as a parent do can't be helped. None of us are saints and we all have our own inherited problems.

All you can do is look into your own heart and do the best you can.
The love for your children shine through in the posts and we all can tell that you did your best. Which is alot more than alot of other parents did - but they may/may not have got away with it.

Unless you pre-planned the systematic deconstruction of your child. AND WE KNOW YOU DIDN'T - then cut yourself some slack, do the best from now on, and be there for them.

All the above is only my opinion.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
