Hi Barbara, I just finished reading about your son. I felt as though I was reading about mine! Which is why I am writing. My son was homeschooled by me as was my daughter. I feel as though I would do it all over again because I was able to get my son to a 10th grade reading level. He is now 22 and works at our family business he vollenteers as a Firefighter on the weekends. Anyway, the last 5 years since his high school graduation has be miserable for him and us to watch. His self esteem could not be any lower. He has shown sighs of depression now and no matter what we say about how we love and care for him, he's still very down. What I am looking for is someone he can talk to who is knowledgeable with Dyslexia and can help him. He no longer lives in our home but is in our same town. He has difficulty with just about everything from bill paying to emotional issues. He is very well liked by so many it's incredible! He is the sweetest young man. Sometimes I think too much so because he has been hurt by people often. I wish I had some suggestions for you but it looks as though I am serching for some help as well

I just saw your reply. Our boys do sound very much alike. I have been looking for help for my son but everything I find is geared towards young children and nothing for young adults. It seems that the early twenties is a very hard time for people with dyslexia. I will join your son to the prayers I pray for mine. If I come up with any ideas I will post it here.
