So (finally) my son's depression seems to be lifting a little. He is taking 2 different classes at CNM, and seems to be enjoying them both. AWESOME>

My family is riddled with alcoholics, drug users, compulsive personalities, and depression... I was just hoping it would skip a generation or two. That said, I can certainly give him examples of what not to do....myself included.

He is very much a perfectionist, and doesn't like change... although he is in a position where he WANTS change badly. So.. I am sure it is a very difficult time for him.

That said... I am very happy for him to be enjoying what he is doing again. It's like the sun peaking through the clouds on a stormy day.
