What a moving post that was.. i am soo soo sorry to hear what your son is going through.. i can sort of sympathize with what hes going through as it was very hard for me growing up not to blame my mother ( she is also a sufferer of p) and my oldest son whos 21 is a recent p sufferer and he has lashed out at me also ... god deals us these cards and we have to try and live our life around them..albeit not very well in alot of cases..one bit of advise i can give is this.. i adore my father 101% but growing up to try to ease my pain etc he would say such silly things like..you have both your arms and legs etc etc now my dad is such a sweet man but these words meant NOTHING TO ME AT ALL..
Also i totally understand what your son means about seeing people worse and worrying that his will become that way.. i left my very first ps group because of the exact same reason... at the time i was scared confused and very very frightened for my future.. even though id had p for over 30 years...now a few years later i understand that just because some peeps get it worse them me dont mean ill get it that bad even though i have coverage of around 85%..
what more can i say except i really feel for you there is nothing worse then not being able to take away your childs pain..your son might NEVER except that he has this.. plz do not force him into it i personally find that by NOT excepting it makes me want to fight it even more with the treatments it means i will never give up..
good luck with your search for help for your child
