Yes. You are intuitive and empathetic re- my youngest son.
His first issue is he dislikes himself. Three days ago my partner went to his work and gave him his birthday present - an AcDc photograph autographed by 2 of the band members.
He wrote once to thank me and today write he would like a coffee.
My situation is definately not the worst story out there..... I just feel very sad he's wasted 4 years in self hatred.
He has many good friends who gather around him and care for him.
your message has helped me. Thank you.

Dear @creative_writer
Look at me I'm grabbing you for support I'll let go.
It more like grief for me. because when I offer this to him my Mum will interfere and attempt to stop it. I'll need to speak to my therapist about how to or when I can offer the trauma therapy to him ...... safely if I can.
What I get from Sane forums is being present and self care.
I truly believe in about 2 years I'll be able to do my honours ....... It's weird studying is so exciting but I only remember exhaustion after handing in a damn assignment lol 😆
In Psychotherapy - iv noticed if you stop reading - ya kind of lose it. Because I'm not a practicing psychotherapist. The books
" Narcissism, by Neville Symington
" words to say it," by Marie Cardinal is an eye opener.
