dear suresh...my heart goes out to you...
i too suffer as my son age 36 suffers from ocd, anxiety and has been diagnosed with clinical depression.. it's not easy being the parent blessings, prayers and love are sent your way all the best take care with love merle Dear Merle / Bill / Larry, Thanks for your good supportive words. But I need to admit one thing, that is the christian way of confession helps a lot. After I wrote that mail to zen forum, my mind got eased of at great amount. Being Truthful and honest brings ease of mind. Regarding my younger son, please note he is diagonised to suffer Autism/ADHD. Until last month, he used to speak like parrot, and few words on his own, all of sudden he stopped speaking. My wife got worried, will he speak again or not is her great doubt. His behaviour keep changing every month or even every week. My anger was remained most of the time under control, except for few moments, but that conscience will come and tell, be gentle and slow. After slapping I jumped on him to sit on my lap but restrict his leg movement and holded both his hands above his head. This arrested his all bodily movement. So he wanted to be free from my locking. By locking I keep on saying say at least mummy, daddy, but he kept on crying and nodding his word, but he did not repeated any of my word. We don't know how long we need to wait. Some therapist even scare us stating he may not speak again, as he is Autism, there is a possibility. So we are very much stressful. Hence I requested prayer from you all. Even though I practice to here and now and not to bother about future, at some times it does affect. In these kinds of situations only one look for god, to help him. If no god, then the hope of getting out of troubles is out of question. Hope is opium to keep going in life. Why mind is not accepting to live with what is? especially an undesirable situation. -- Thanks and best regards J.Suresh New No.3, Old No.7, Chamiers road - 1st Lane, Alwarpet, Chennai - 600018 Ph: 044 42030947 Mobile: 91 9884071738
