[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 637021, member: 14557"] One thing that spooked me out while cleaning difficult child's apartment, other than jalapeños, were the doodles. Doodling certainly is nothing new, he has done that from the time he was four or something like that. If there is a pen and paper and difficult child sitting still, there is also doodles. So of course we found a lot of doodles from his flat. They were in appropriate places, in margins of his work out schedule or their weekly schedule, in news papers, advertising mail and opened envelopes, nothing wrong or out of ordinary in that. What spooked me out was what he had doodled. Usually he tends to doodle one of three things; caricatures or other pictures of people, either of those he is with, people he knows well or celebrities etc. sometimes also animals, things in his mind, that may be part of what he is talking with someone, what he hears about or thinks about, could be anything from technical drawings of some object and their functioning to female figurines, or things he actually sees and that catch his eye. I guess those spooky doodles are the last category, things he sees. What makes it spooky, is precisely that. They are not things I would see, and I don't now mean his usual peculiar point of view. I guess those doodles are how dissociation looks and feels like to him. They are not abstract, but they are twisted, odd, looked from the strange direction, being two or three things at the same time, lacking clear, definite boundaries and, to me, very, very oppressive and spooky. And at the same time they were clearly things he sees, everyday object, the view from his window, things like that. I know I should had just thrown them away, just packed those papers he actually needs regardless the doodles and thrown away junk mail, empty envelopes and news papers, but I cut and took with me some of the spookier ones also from the papers we were throwing to recycle bin. I'm not even sure why, probably because they did shake me up quite badly. And probably shouldn't have done that, even looking at them is more or less invading his privacy. They were not there for me and husband to see and I'm sure that if he had known someone would had been coming to his flat, he would had hide them before it. I'm feeling sleazy for taking them and they are not even serving any particular purpose, maybe only reminding me about his actual state of mind. These were certainly done before Wednesday and the crash, when he was still acting normal and functioning. [/QUOTE]
