Is there any encouragement you can give this mother who watches her son struggle?

You are doing more than you know to help your son succeed in his life. In this you are truly blessed to have the awareness you do and the connections you are fostering in getting support from the divine realm. That is the best there can be for someone like your son and the issues he struggles with. It is important for you to know your job is not to make his life perfect, or to agonize over harmful episodes that come his way. In actuality, everything he experiences is a learning opportunity and is contributing greatly to his growth and learning. That is the purpose of life, not to have fun and creature comforts and freedom from anything stressful or challenging. The environment you inhabit is, indeed, a stressful one and demanding, and that is the downside of the current paradigm. But there is a huge upside rarely appreciated, and that is, the sum total of all the hard-won learning every person goes through at one time or another will result in a magnificent blossoming of humanity into a high-level cohort of guides, teachers, and healers, and a key resource for all of the universe as mentors and leaders. That is who your son is becoming, even as he struggles with something so down to earth as a weight problem, it is adding more than it is taking a way for him to struggle with this. It is a reflection of things going on deep within, and that contest is being joined by the divine. You are learning as well, from all that you see and do. Even the suffering you experience through your love for him and concern for him is informing you and enabling you to understand very clearly the consequences of misfortune in a way that only going through it can offer. The slings and arrows of your lives are only adding to your greatness, not truly taking away in any fashion that is of importance. Even if a life is shortened, it is the learning that counts, not the duration achieved. Many times, the more difficult, challenging, and unpleasant the lifetime, the deeper and more meaningful will be the lessons learned, because they will be correspondingly great issues, of great import, and those things of greatest challenge grow the most muscles and inner wisdom that will add to your toolkit in becoming the exalted being that is your destiny.
