We all fall down

My son needs guidance and structure, and I don't feel up to the task. But I'm what he's got, so I must rise to the occasion. Somehow I must cultivate a set of behaviors in myself that nourishes his sense of self worth. I find myself criticizing him too often, and he's responded by feeling incapable. It doesn't help that all the girls he's tried to date have rejected him. Add that to the most important women in his life have abandoned him, and he's got quite a load on his emotional shoulders. What I have done right is he knows he's loved. Now I have to find a way to engage him in positive activities where he can have success and build his sense of self worth. Since it's what I know best, music is going to take a key role. I'm seeking a simple drum set, snare drum, kick drum and high hat. That, and we have to start making balanced meals together. If just these two things become consistent activities, I believe our lives will improve. I ask for undying inspiration to follow through. And for a drum set.
