[quote=Anonymous]How do I make my learning disabled 12 year old son feel better? He knows I invited a lot of people to his birthday. I invited some people from his school and I invited a lot of my family. One by one I either didn’t hear back from the people or some got in touch with me and said they couldn’t make it. Only one sent birthday wishes anyway and that was in Aunt with a card from her and her two kids.

Only six people came and that was his grandparents, and Aunt, and the woman on our street came by with her two kids were toddlers which almost didn’t even count.  I could tell he was sad all day long and he admitted later that he feels like a loser and wishes he could die so he’d be missed and everyone would love him like they do Sarah (my troubled niece who died of an overdose in October at 21 years old). I assured him that next year I will take them on a trip instead of trying to do a birthday party.

How do I make him feel better? I also worry about his Fascination with death ever since his cousin Sarah died last fall. Keep saying when we’re dead everyone loves us even if they don’t like us when we’re leaving. Sarah was a sweet girl but very troubled and people were frustrated with her because of the drugs. Ever since her death she’s been made to be the greatest thing that ever lived. This is perfectly understandable and it’s nothing against her or her parents, I just don’t want my son thinking that he should therefore die and of course while 12 is pretty young for suicide it’s always a risk.
