[QUOTE="Mamab1023, post: 399407"] Thanks for all of the kind, supporting words. I'm sorry I didn't respond yesterday. I spent most of the day trying to keep busy or crying, or both. I guess I should rephrase my initial statement about my son being diagnosed. He hasn't been "officially" diagnosed. We have had our son in therapy since he was 5. First with a play therapist. (which I felt was a total joke!) Then with a child psychologist whom we absolutely love! His odd and destructive behaviors in school seemed to get a little better and we were determined NOT to medicate him. I have always felt that he has a 'sad' sould. Not sure if I'm wording that how I really want to but that's the only way I can really get it out. Anyway... This August things got really bad again and between school and home we told his psychologist that we were finally ready to take the next step. She said she wasn't comfortable diagnosing him and referred him to someone for testing. After a couple months of tests we were called in to go over his scores and hear what she thought. That is where we are now. She says she thinks it is schizophrenia and that we need to take him to a psychiatrist. After all my research I think she could be wrong and that it could be bipolar. Either way, neither is good and I am grieving. I know time will help but day to day life for now is hard. He is my baby boy and I am hurting for him. He has also commited many sexual offenses for which we are taking him somewhere for help on Monday. The law isn't involved and I am honestly just realizing the seriousness of this. I aways thought he was just being curious. So, Monday we have an orientation at this center and Wednesday we go to the psychiatrist. No medications yet. Sorry so long winded. Just a lot to get off my chest but it does feel good to say/type to people who truely understand [/QUOTE]
