Once vibrant and full of laughter, Ben began to retreat into a shell of silence, his bright eyes dimming with the weight of a story untold. As his parents, we watched, mistaking his withdrawal for the tempestuous tide of adolescence. We whispered reassurances to each other, believing it was just a phase, a storm that would pass with the gentle passage of time.
But beneath the surface of our hope, Ben was navigating a tumultuous sea of bullying, facing waves that threatened to erode his confidence and spirit. The signs were subtle, easily lost in the everyday shuffle of life, and we, blinded by our assumptions, failed to see the cries for help etched in his silence.
It was Dawn Health that illuminated the path hidden in the shadows of our understanding.
