Oh no I'm sorry you are in the middle of demanding parents. That's hard. Depression, who knows. Could be a lot of things. Definitely sounds like it could partly be mindset but once you get in these holes it's hard to get out. That's his journey, not yours.
Do you watch Alone? Just watched Season 11 and found it very inspiring.
Naw, is it a series? I don't usually watch anything really. Spending most of the time thinking about building a workshop and gathering tools off of internet \o
You would love Alone!!!! They drop people in places like Patagonia and the Arctic circle and the last one standing wins 500 k. Proper survivalists though and not sensational reality TV - just really awesome seeing how they build shelter, find food, and cope with being alone. Highly recommended!
Holy shoot! Now thats a challenge id take. Gonna look it up. It would be also interesting if they left a couple alone, so we could see how man and woman organize themselves together
