Talk to your kids!!! Don't forget to LISTEN too.........

[Evan Iroc-Z]

This is such a sad story. I am not sure how I would cope.

This unfortunately is my biggest fear with my oldest child. He has depression, anxiety, adhd, odd (oppositional defiance disorder), autism, and mood disorder.

When he gets down, he really gets down. I ask him every day "how's it going", "is there anything at all you want to talk about", and every day I get a "fine" or "no", he's the typical teenager. I really hope it's sinking in that I am there for him no matter what and no matter the situation.

My thought and prayers go out to the grieving family.
