Hi, I’m a 61 yo male caring for my son who is 28. He has really bad depression to the point of potential suicide. I have been a single parent since he was 10. I work full time so find it hard to manage as I have to cook etc for him, he lives near me but not with me. I’m not sure what sort of help/advice I’m looking for but any would be most welcome!
