This approach has often been the key to helping him find calm and drift off to sleep.”
That night, as I held Alex in the way his mother described, I felt a profound bond grow between us. His head was near my heart, and slowly, his tense body began to relax into my embrace.
Despite the initial shock of learning about his anxiety, understanding flowed in, filling me with empathy and determination to support him.
As he eventually fell asleep, the burden of his worries seemed to lighten. Mrs.
Green quietly left the room, a look of approval and gratitude in her eyes.
She seemed at peace knowing her son was in caring hands.
Since that transformative night, Alex and I have grown closer, opening up more about ourselves and our needs.
Supporting him through his anxiety has become woven into our lives, bringing us even closer together.
We faced his vulnerabilities head-on, discovering strength in our bond. Our journey has felt like an intensive course in love, empathy, and resilience.
It’s remarkable how confronting challenges together has only fortified our connection. I wanted to share this small victory—love truly can conquer all.
