Life Collides With Work: What Should I Do Now?

I just started a new job—literally two weeks in, after six months of consulting. I was upfront with my manager about my son’s mental health struggles, since his therapy sessions sometimes clash with work meetings. But today, everything turned upside down: my 13-year-old son and his friend tried to overdose at school. Now, I’m sitting in a hospital room, completely numb. I haven’t told my boss yet. I’m terrified they’ll think I’m making excuses, especially with a holiday weekend coming up and their whole talk about how much hours matter. But honestly, I can’t focus on anything except my son right now. I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to work—I just want to be here for him. How do I even begin this conversation with my boss? Has anyone else been in a situation like this? I could really use some advice right now. 😔 #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealthMatters #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
