IT really sucks when you can't trust your own kid with there own safety.
I just can't trust my own son with his own safety at the moment and i know that sounds bad. My 17 year old son was admitted into a mental health hospital last Monday and was there till Thursday. After he was walked in by his girlfriend who walked in on him cutting himself down there. She also happens to be pregnant and she is living with us because i invited her to do so and her parents thought it was a good idea as well seeing as how they have been togeather for 5 years. Well my son is bipolar and has aspergers as well as having chrones. And yesterday he was having a really bad bout with his depression to the point that he stayed curled up in bed all day And he had a couple of meltdowns as well. Well my brother and his pregnant fiance and his 5 son's are staying here for thanksgiving and he had to help me restrain my son because he just became so irate that he more or less lost it and went after his girlfriend and tried to choke her. Well my brother got to him before he could hurt her. And i just don't trust my son anymore with his own safety right now and it sucks and i do not know what to do. I kept him home from school today so i could keep an eye on him and i have to wait for another hour before his psychiatrist opens to wear i can call him and see what to do. I am just at a lose my baby boy keeps getting worse and worse and there is nothing i can do to stop it and it sucks so fucking much.
I AM SO SORRY.... I REALLY DONT NOW WHAT TO SAY, I AM PRAYING FOR U, UR SON AND UR WHOLE FAMILY.
I'm a non cosleeping, disposable diapering, non-cio, chocolate lover, vaccinating, going to the gym, tv watching, circumcising, pit-bull owning, scrapbooking, camera ready, front facing car seat, non-boobie momma to a very active cute little man!
I went thru this when i was a teenager. I hated it so much. Hate to say it but this is prob what is going to do him the best. IT helped me tremendously! I hope he See's his way thru this. IT is tough and I hope you all can stay strong through all this. I Wish him well.
Sounds like you are doing all the right stuff. Sorry this is all going on. I will pray for you and your family.
I Also wanted to add. They have counseling for you guys as well. Family counseling to work thru what ever issues you guys have going on. HE had alot on his plate right now and the advice i can give is work thru this with him. MY family was not there for me after i went in. IT just made it worse for me. I needed my family. Tryand visit him as much as you can just give him a few days there alone before you do so. IF you need any other advice about what happens there and how the process goes. I Have been in there for many years when i was his age and younger. I Know what it is like there. I also want to add, when i was there there was alot of really...um how to word it......really different people. You see how they learn to deal with their illnesses, and sometimes it even makes you realize that what your going thru, may not be as bad. I Didn't want to come off like an ass, but i didn't know how else to word it.
That sounds like a horrible situation, and I am so sorry you are going through all this. I can't imagine what it would be like. I really pray he gets the help he needs to see him through this.
I really hope you can find your son the help he needs to get past this.I have a brother who is bipolor schitzophrentic and you never know what to expect with them. From the way it sounds he may need to be in the hospital a little longer till the doctors are able to get him more in control. Good luck and take care.
