[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 496468"] Ok what is the hearing for toorrow? Is it a hearing for a criminal case or is it hearing the hospital is having to commit him involuntarily for longer? I think you need to understand what the hearing is. Also the hospital should be figuring out his discharge plan.... so my recommendation is to talk to the hospital social worker. Now he/she may not talk to you if your son did not give permssion... in which case I would tell her that he absolutely cannot come home without your having more information and some kind of family meeting. Thats as a minimum. Your son may be telling her he can go home and is hoping you will endorse that. My feeling is don't do that without a whole lot more info. If the hospital is looking to committ him involuntarily for longer then my guess is they have some real concerns about his safety... you need to know and understand that as well. Right now be true to yourself, wife and daughter about what you can handle. Clearly if your son is suicidal that is a lot to handle....Think about what feels right to you. Your son will do what he can to manipulate you to get what he wants. I am sure he has done this before (I say this from my own experience) and he will do this again. It helps to learn to recognize the manipulation. TL [/QUOTE]
