Sacred Heart of Jesus, please have mercy on this little boy. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You. Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy will be done.
Mom, just a thought… your son might benefit from being extra close to you for awhile. Have you considered homeschooling him? The love, gentleness, and tailor-made pace of homeschooling might help him to relax and be less anxious, and possibly could open him up to communicating his feelings with you. Just a thought.
In addition, maybe limit his social activities to only the gentlest of his friends, and only non-competitive activities, until you feel that he’s ready for other things.
I am truly sorry for your situation, but please always believe that God can make good out of anything. Offer your communion for your son, and all your anxiety, pain, and everything, offer it for the healing of your son. Like Nana said, use a lot of holy water, too. And something I always tell my son before bed is “Jesus loves you and I love you.”
Please consider counseling for yourself (especially if there is a good Catholic counselor nearby).
I will pray for you and I know that many others on the forum will be praying, too, even if they do not make a reply to your post.
Take care,
