Her son’s teacher said he is thriving, so she decided to ask her son why he doesn’t behave the same way at home. Her son replied that he wouldn’t act that way in school since it’s embarrassing.
“I’m deeply depressed,” she said. “My husband’s father (son’s biological grandfather) is a diagnosed psychopath who is serving 2 life prison sentences for the murder of his wife (my husband’s mother) and his next wife.”
“My husband said his childhood was very similar to this. I’ve taken my son to the doctor and already have him in therapy. I talked to a social worker who said she has never heard of anything like this from someone so young and was even having a hard time finding a therapist that would see him (this started extremely badly at age 4).”
“I have got myself in such an awful shape that I feel like I’m on the verge of a breakdown. My husband and I already have issues within our own marriage, and he says he has a “hard time showing emotions.” Which has left me feeling unsupported and loved.”
At this point, she wants to just move back home and live with her grandma while only asking to have visitation with her son.
It’s hard for her to eat, sleep, or get through the day. Before having her son and before being married, she was a completely different person, and she was happy.
What advice do you have for her?
