Noting empathy is a beautiful thing. Your precious thoughtful son is a communicator. Amazing work mom!

Thank you for sharing this with us all. As the eldest child and only sister in a family with three brothers, I see parts of my mother’s story reflected in your story. Though she was a mother to us at these ages long ago and the world was very different. My brother is now living in my spare room and we are in the process of finding out if he qualifies for services as an adult. It’s an amazing interesting rollercoaster ride for us and I would not wish it differently than this. Maybe some of the life hiccups not having happened, but then again they brought us to this moment and it is okay enough for getting on with.

I wish you and all of your family and friends as well as possible.
