son update

I ended up having to take my son to the hospital for evaluation after all last night.

He refused to go for me, so I called 911.

He flipped!!! "You fucking bitch, how could you do this to me? Fuck you I'm done listening to your bullshit!! etc."

When the police got here and said "What's going on buddy?" He said to the police officer "Fuck you, I don't want to hear your bullshit!!"

Finally he did get dressed and was transported to the hospital in an ambulance. While we were waiting he was calm and stuff, we played tic-tac-toe and hangman.


It was decided that he would be best served with 3 days of partial hospitalization, beginning Monday...

Thanks for all your words of encouragement and prayers...

You done good. It can be a moment of illumination when recalcitrance meets real authority. Everything is really up to him making decisions and accepting
responsibility. I hope things go well and that he learns the things he needs to. Take care of yourself too! Of course.

You are a good mom, I only wish now, that someone had forced me into treatment at an early age. My grandmother called the pastor of the church, that wasn't enough. I know this hurts you right now, and your son is probably very angry. However, for the sake of his mental health and family peace you did the right thing. Give yourself a pat on the back and hang in their.

Good deal TK. This may be the begining of alot of extra help for he and you both. More groups other chidren his age other parents you can get support from just ask for any and all resources available. The bullying and verbal abuse alone has to stop, he will only be getting bigger stronger and nastier as time goes on without help and and turn around. Good things to come by not waitng any longer. I'm proud of you, keep asking for support it may not go smooth for a while but now you have a plan.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
