Hi

 

Thanks for your reply. It is the same for me. He will turn 18 in a week. We will see what happens...

Hey @rubymeadow1  - turning 18 can be a really big moment for young people. The official "adult" part of life supposedly begins! 

In reality, this is a process for most young people - and it might take some time for them to adjust to adulthood. 

I'm sorry to hear that your son tried to take his life - that must have been really painful for you. 

How is he going now? 

Are you getting any support? - it sounds like you're under a fair bit of stress. 

 

Does your daughter live at home too?
