Good News about YSS

Short update: YSS had a therapy appointment earlier this week. DH participated in the appointment because they were updating his care plan.

The therapist asked YSS how often he has been having suicidal thoughts, and he said he hadn't had them in a while. When he started therapy, it was daily.

DH is THRILLED! We know this isn't over by any stretch, but it's good to know that we are, at least for now, at a place where YSS can work through his anxiety. YSS has definitely been opening up, and his visits with ET have been okay (I assume because he knows he can come back here versus staying at ET's house).

Small victories, folks. Taking the small victories...

Great - I figured once he felt heard and comfortable talking about his issues, he'd feel better and the SI would go away.

This is not a small victory, this is tremendous. Celebrate it! To go from having suicidal ideation daily to once in a while is huge!

That is great news! While no it is not over yet, your SS is progressing and sounds like that is all because you and your DH have gotten him the help and stable enviornment he needs!
