How can I help my son get over his depression.

by Lynn4232, May 03, 2008 11:45PM
My son is 34.  2 years ago he went through a divorce, he has no children. He lost his house, has had several jobs since.  He has gotten laid off and/or fired.  I am concerned that his attitude has created most of his problems.  He is very emotional. He is in emotional pain, angry, thinks everyone is out to ruin his life.   I have tried to have him find someone to talk to but he doesn't think he needs to do that.  He wants to work and can't find a job.  He lives alone, doesn't drink or isn't on drugs.  I just feel so bad for him and don't know what to do to help.   He has a difficult time working with people but can't seem to understand that he may be the greater part of the problem.  Can someone give me any ideas?

i know that you are wanting to help, so bad,, as parents we all want to help our children, no matter what the age, but we can do nothing, until they decide they need help, and aree ready to get it He is A grown man, and he must see that he needs help, maybe when he reaches the lowest point,, or he needs the money, and job, he may listen, i do hope that things work out for all of you  luck jo
