[QUOTE="PittDoraj, post: 496581, member: 13500"] Well, the hearing seems to be off. The hearing is to determine if he will be kept in the hospital or released. Apparently the doctor petitioned for a 10 day period but it sounds as if my son has stipulated that he will stay for 5 to avoid the hearing. My wife and I went to visit him this evening.He claims the police are lying and that he never said he felt suicidal. He said he told them he was depressed because he didn't have a place to sleep. (this is why he wants to avoid the hearing, he says no one would believe him over the police). He is angry and blaming us, along with everyone else, for his being there. I pointed this out to him and he told me he blames himself but won't tell me that because I will say "you really don't mean it". He also said he has no intention of stopping his drinking, that he doesn't have a problem, and that he would do everything again. I don't ever remember seeing him this angry. Perhaps he is being brutally honest. I told him we will not allow him to come back home and drink or smoke pot. His response was that he would just go out and live his life the way he wants "for as long as he can". [/QUOTE]
