[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678541, member: 18958"] Mom. First, how hard!! Second, I feel at a loss because you do not put ages down and that makes a difference (or I did not see. If so, sorry.)You did exactly the right thing in your response. This all needs to be sorted out by professionals. He needs to be contained so that he can be stabilized and a treatment plan formulated. All of this is good. You are now, for the first time, I would think, at the point where good options can be identified. There are all kinds of medications and treatments that can be effective and helpful, potentially. I would not, right now, consider what the implications are for either this son, or any of the other kids, or the family in general. You are in shock. All of this has been a terrible stress. I would try to do as much as you can to be kind and gentle with yourself. Some of us are in your same situation. With all of our kids or our only child facing multiple diagnoses and challenges. It is one step at a time and dealing with things as they come. To immerse yourself in the implications for the future is to suffer needlessly. None of us knows the future. The future is just a series of present-times. The challenge in this moment is to choose to be kind to yourself and responsible to your family. If there was ever a time to take seriously, the saying, one day at a time, it is now. Take care. Keep posting. I wish this was not happening to you or to any of us. You are not alone. It is not your fault, none of it. COPA [/QUOTE]
