I hope now that things are going better for you and your son.
I think that school is a good thing because it keeps your spirits up. Sometimes people think that no pain means happiness, but I can't be pain free, so the next best thing is to be distracted. School, friends, movies, books, whatever I am able to do that day is great because it keeps me upbeat. It is very hard to feel young and stuck in a dark room.
I hope all is well!
In Christ,
Margarite
