@TKC81Welcome to the forum.

 

 It is so hard to see people we love in a low mood. 

 

Once they become adult though, it is also hard to take the step back, be available and not get over involved, or have to high expectations about they should cope with life in this oh so crazy world.  Nobody knows the right level of space better than the 2 of you.  I do know that my son has often bounced back when I have been extremely worried, and I am glad I have not rushed in too often to fix things, and let him work his own life out and figure out his best way forward. Over time I have found it quite confronting to reflect that often it has been my low mood that magnifies and worries about what is going on for him, so I tend towards being cautious, but strong in advocacy and support and encouragement.

 

Not easy being a mum or a single mum
