after a lovely morning together, we got home, i had some strong words with him for not listening.. he went very quiet and started sobbing on the spot.. left him to it and said to calm down and when he was ready we could talk.. he then tells me he doesnt feel he has a place on planet earth and feels he is useless.. i tried to keep it in, but did not know how to react.. he said he knew what he was going to tell me would upset me, i didnt push it, but this is what he told me.. he then seemed to feel better and told me not to tell anyone... i said i am pleased he shared and to not bottle things up . he said he had a "speech bubble" in his head with these thoughts... oh dear me.. he is 6 and normally fine, but he had me in tears.. he was almost testing me and kind of smiling? how would you react? do i just leave it, or bring it up again? tia
