wow you are very strong, you are much stronger than you think, as proven by the fact you are handling the situation alright, after three months of emotional roller coaster. Be hatzlacha and be aware that most of us, in your shoes, would have been a pathetic failure. I know you feel you aren’t dealing well with the situation and possibly you feel like a failure, but this is simply untrue, and don’t allow anyone to insinuate that (including yourself). For incomprehensible reasons your son is going through a difficult time, which we all hope it gets finished after a while and without leaving permanent scars. But whatever the reason, that has nothing to do with you and your husband, as proven by his siblings, who no doubt also encountered “imperfect” role models (did we not all meet such people?) and yet did not react in the same way. Sometimes life events are impossible to understand, so, stop beating yourself up, that does no good to your son, to the rest of your family, nor to you.
