Dorian – What’s gotten harder over time?

Managing, or helping my son manage those sad moments is a little bit tricky.  Because the sad moments now are a little bit different than they were originally.  Initially, it was coming to grips with the condition.  Now, it’s everyone else is moving on with their lives, but I’m still kind of in the same place.  It’s a different type of juggling act because what I said to him at 17, you can’t really say at 23.  So, that’s what’s gotten harder, to help him manage his emotions and those sad moments.  They don’t come often, but when they do come, it’s pretty hard to always have the right answer.
