Hello Dilraj,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our community - this must all be really distressing for you. Being so far away from your son and feeling like you can't help as much as you would like are both perfectly valid reasons for anxiety and panic.
Can you tell me more about this disappointment you're experiencing? I think this is a very human response to not being able to do more for your son. You sound like a very loving and caring father, so perhaps we just need to think outside of the box! Can we explore some other ways you can be there for your son from afar? What comes to mind first?
Our community are here for you, so please remember that you aren't alone (even if it feels that way sometimes).
Looking forward to your response.
Warm regards,
Sophie M.
