Hello everybody.
I hope you arent putting yourself through too much @Former-Member be kind to yourself. Laughter is a good release.
Its good to see you @eth.
@Angels333 It is difficult to find the line of authenticity to relate to others on Friday Feast if we are feeling down. We all struggle with it but somehow muddle through with the help of the mods.
@PeppiPatty That is a difficulty with genuine physical issues that can be played upon. I think you are being a very good mum. Gotta get our kids the help the need, and show them how to fend for themselves, but also to respect the medical systems that are stretched. I have walked with a mum/daughter ABI relationship over 30 years (from a distance). Even you of all people who can empathise by personality and through hard and shocking experience, would struggle with the complexities you deal with your son's situation. Gently confron him when you feel he is attention seeking. His situation is exceptional. There is no normal way to view it, and our heads are such a key part of identity. He also might be trying to deal with it differently to you, just to prove that he is a different person, and to individuate from you.
I let my son argue with me a bit, as he needs to know that I know he is a unique beautiful passionate courageous creature.
Listen to your gut and your head. We all hope your boy comes good ... physically, and substance wise.
He might be throwing up for a few reasons .. I dont know.
Long term he does need to manage the consequences of his brain surgery situation without you...helping him establish some credibility with his health team is huge ... that is the aim of parenting ... to be able to get them to that place. Take it step by delicate step.
Thinking of you all.
