In this personal monologue, Dr. Wayne Pernell recounts a crisis when his son became suicidal and his depression manifested as intense rage and destructive behavior. He describes his instinctive, generational response of sending his son to his room, even resorting to physical discipline, and contrasts it with a psychologist’s counsel to never send a hurting loved one away but to bring them closer. The speaker reflects on how this advice reshaped his view of his son’s behavior—from rebellion to a cry for identity and visibility—highlighting the importance of allowing loved ones to be seen for who they truly are, especially during mental‑health crises.
