  • You basically have to change how you calculate your worth.

    You are the one who set the standards that you are failing to meet.

    People with depression often fall into this trap. You set a standard you can’t possibly reach and then get upset you aren’t reaching said impossible standard.

    When I get thoughts like this i try to look past my thoughts and feelings and look at the evidence.

    Is your son happy? Have they done anything that leads you to believe they feel let down? Etc.

    Because it sounds like the only thing making him unhappy is you being unhappy.

    Kids generally just want attention and love more than anything. Things are nice but they are no substitute.
