I agree that taking care of yourself needs to come first here. If you're not taking care of yourself, you can't give him the care, support, and accountability he needs.

This was so hard for me. I was a high school teacher and worked with "high-risk" youth for nearly five years before my concussion. I loved it, and I was good at it. After my concussion, my emotional lability, headaches, difficulty multi-tasking, slowness in respoding, and fatigue made it impossible for me to function in situations that I had previously been good at handling.

Right now, I'm not able to give them the quality of education they need and deserve. That was really hard to admit, and it was really hard to step aside and let someone else do it, especially because I HAD been able to do it in the past and knew I was darn good at it.

Ultimately, as sad and as hard as it was, it's in their best interest and my best interest both right now. You and your son might be in the same place.
