Son says his life has crumbled since split

[Ifandbutts]

Any advice apart from giving love & hugs and letting my son know I’m here for him ?
He is 11 and told me he had a cry in his room this morning . Just makes me feel sad to think he is hurting so much & feels a sense of hopelessness. He has massive ocd & has self harmed . So counselling for that is scheduled.

Is there a good book even ?
Back story ... split from his abusive father who moved out 2 months ago . They still have contact .

Not a book but a website: the Hideout, run by Women's Aid, if for older kids who've experience DA. Simple things like working out how you're feeling today. Talks about when adults are angry etc.

Am sure others will be along soon with MH ideas.

In the meantime just keep hugging. And make sure you've got support for yourself, that will benefit him as much as you.

Thankyou I will check that out

I hope you get some more helpful replies, have been meaning to bump this thread today!
