[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 663816, member: 19245"] I am having a very difficult job trying to deal with guilt. I know in my heart that I tried my best, but I cannot stop preseverating about it. Over and over and over again! (Copa, this answers your question about why people up so late!) Could I have done something different? Tried something different? Been less strict? Been more strict? Tried a soft sell for going to the doctors...or a hard sell? I miss him so much. I am in disbelief that this even happened....that my life was in possible danger...from my son! What could I have said or done differently? I know in my heart of hearts, that he was not getting better here. I also know that he did not have a chance of improving while I sheltered him and allowed violence. He now has a chance to improve...but I am now out of the equation. I will not know. I was thinking, if he got SSI, it would show up in the joint bank account...unless he got a new one so that I wouldn't know. Also, down the line, it would show money coming in from a part time job. Also it might show the company... Do you see why I can't sleep??? Right now, I just know that he has gone to the shelter and does not want me to know. I had asked them to give him a message to contact my youngest son if he needs help with housing. I just said that it was an intervention that went badly. We bought him a cell phone that my youngest son gave him that last day. My youngest son put a sticky note with his number on the box and left 2 texts on it to contact him if he needed anything, but he let the phone die... He is probably just using the shelter for showers, but I am hoping for counseling, diagnosis, SSI, housing, etc. Also the lab/immunology bill I received, I was thinking, was probably for a T.B. screening that is required to go to the shelter. But, I was hoping for ... a physical, labs, and possible diagnosis. Boy! I sure am in La La Land. I need to be in...the Land of Nod! [/QUOTE]
