So my XAH will not email me back, I literally sent one line about Follow up - Can I get an update, surgeries, child support and so on. Thanks. What I wanted to say was a whole different issue .. LOL.
I have a very sneaking suspicion that the whole coming out discussion was not what my son shared .. he's very anxious now so I don't know what that's about and he doesn't want to talk about it. So fine .. I did tell him he's going to have to talk about it with someone. I am looking into CBD for anxiety for him it doesn't have the TCH in it and I think it might help him and I'm also thinking about it for menopause kinds of symptoms hoping that it might help with energy levels too. I'm just tired all the time which I am pretty positive I am very vit deficient in all kinds of areas.
He was leveled out pretty well and unfortunately is back into another spin. I also think some of this has to do with the fact he's not moving forward with his transition and he really doesn't begin to know where to look for the next thing to do .. I don't at my age so I am giving a gentle push that direction and he seems to be excited about it. He's doing the work I am merely sharing links and helping him fill out court paperwork. Ultimately he will need to go and file.
Hugs S :)

{{{SRU}}}. Indeed it sounds like a very stressful time. Looking for herbal remedies and/or other things for anxiety sounds like a good idea for both of you. Look up Valerian Root online as an option. Its a very gentle, non-addicting herb. Its sold in most drug store chains now. Times have changed!
You must have an amazing tool box by now so dont forget about using them. I can get so overwhelmed at times I forget about my most basic helping strategies. Easy does it ODAT, Lyne
You are doing great, Serenity!! A one-liner instead of the whole barrage of things that need to come out... but you know better! I guess the hard part will be sitting with his silence.
You are doing well with your eldest... I am learning where it is OK to suggest/help and where I let go. At the end of the day, we are still their parents... we are just learning how to parent an adult! LOL!
& :love:
