My son, i think was dyslexic at one time, at least that is what his school counselor said, and that was in 2nd grade. Now he reads like a champ. But, somehow I still feel he is. Recently he has gone over the hill with his emotions and against all his values. He has always shown frustration, anger, crying. Frustration and fear are his biggest issues. He is a loveable guy. Everybody loves him. I mean everybody. He has marvelous social skills. Very young and very old fall in love with him, and all those in between and men and women. He does not have any children, because he did not want them to inherit his dyslexia. But, now he wants to leave his wife, he is overwhelmed with emotions, he's not sleeping, understandably he is bouncing off walls, and I want so much to help him. I am trying to direct him to a psychologist, and a marriage counselor. He is at least thinking about it. His wife has her own issues. He has always been there to voraciously stick up for her and she has come to depend on him to be there and he has spoiled her rotten. I knew things would come to a climax. He can be difficult to communicate with. He doesn't open up and when he does he can go on for at least past an hour. Just on and on. Nobody can interrupt him, he gets frustrated. He gets upset and brushes us off or gets frustrated. When he does, I back off, because I was one of those parents who had limited patience and understanding and I don't want to stop him from expressing himself, getting it off his chest. He is a better son than I was a mother. He is a grown man now and thus far has maneuvered his way through the work place very well. He is one of their good workers. He does manual labor and has a leadership position. He is good at it, I have a suspicion that the internal organization of the company has thrown him for a loop. I understand that disorganization can be disruptive to those who are dyslexic. And he has talents in art and music. He is a gifted person in these fields. I don't know what to do. I think I can help him this time around. He seeks me out when all goes bad, but then, he doesn't want to hurt me or make me feel guilty. I love him so much. Help
