I am trying to find a way to help my son. My friend leahanne (her ds name) asked for advice on here about my son who was masturbating constantly! I guess a lot of people on here suggested that my son may have sexually abused. I have done a bit of research and spoken to some professionals, and found that it probably IS the case. I have dealt with depression for many years and this seems to have pushed me over the edge. I want to help my son rather than be consumed with my own issues of sexual abuse. What should I do?

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
