Jackie (that’s what I called him) was an average ordinary kid who could steal your heart with those big brown, puppy dog eyes and a smile that lit up the room.  But something happened a few months ago that took away those vibrant eyes and his smile.  I asked, “what’s going on?”

“Nothing,” was always his reply.

“Well, when you want to talk, I’ll be here,” was always my response.

I sent him to a therapist because, really what teenage boy wants to talk to his mom?  After the first few sessions Dr. Collins and I met for an update on Jackie’s progress or lack thereof.
