  • Hi Sue,

    Sounds like you are having a tough time of it at the moment, I hope you can find someone on here in a similar situation whom you can compare notes with and try and make some sense of all that is going on, i think you have come to the right place to find someone to talk with, and of course we wish you and your son well, although these things take time.
