Any advice on how I can help will be greatly appreciated!
My incredibly sporty DS suffered a bad sporting injury a couple of months ago which required surgery and will be a 6 month recovery..
I know there are teen hormones and lack of endorphins at play too but he veers between angry, moody and tearful and I feel like no matter what I do to try and help him - I'm failing. I'm in charge his rehab which we do a few times a day but he keeps getting angry with me ... he can't move around easily in a full leg brace so I understand how hard this is on him. I try talking to and just being there for him but it doesn't feel like it's enough snd I'm turning into a bit of a punching bag for his angry words and outbursts.. has anyone experienced anything similar and may have some practical advice on how I can support him? I thought about a therapist and brought the up with him but he shut down the idea immediately. I'm trying to stay upbeat and positive for him but it doesn't seem to be helping either of us. Thanks so much.
