Robin I just wanted to say that I commend you for going for help. There are so many people who are depressed and do nothing about it. I read somewhere that men, in particular, will not seek help. I do believe that us women are more in tune with our bodies and how they work and are much quicker to fix a problem rather than live with it. My sister-in-law has suffered from depression for years. She has been on and off medications and I know how discouraging it can be to have something that is supposed to help you instead create side effects.

I am so sorry to read that your son is not more sympathetic especially in light of all that you have gone through in the past with the cancer. I do believe that those we love the most can hurt us the deepest. After all they feel completely free to talk to us more openly than they would to an outsider. I am sure he regrets his harsh words and probably wants to take them back.

Life is so hard, isn't it? Sometimes we are balancing so many things - homes, jobs, families - and it gets overwhelming. I hate to read that you are suffering like this. You are truly one of the sweetest Pet Talkers that I have ever "met." I don't really have any suggestions but I can pray and I will. (((((hugs)))))
