[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 37911, member: 1991"] Arttillygirl, you said, " am afraid I am becoming a regular" I thought you already were!! Hey, it's what we're here for! Stop apologising! Seriously though, it sounds like the counselling is working, at least to some extent. He likes going there, he's opening up and talking about his feelings, he's making agreements with the counsellor. Just opening up and expressing feelings, including feelings of self-harm, can help prevent such plans being carried out. I would keep the counselling up, for sure. You and your husband also need someone professional to dump on, because this is stressful in the extreme and while you're stressed and anxious you're less able to hear your son and help him. I'm sorry about the vandalism, but at least they chose somewhere that wasn't going to need to be repaired. But they didn't know that the building wasn't being demolished as salvage - the ceiling fan, for example, may have been targeted for retrieval and re-use. This sort of vandalism can be therapeutic, but is thoughtless and damaging to the environment because it makes the demolisher's job harder. And one day they could be in a building slated for demolition and not know there are charges already laid through the building, and it can come crashing down around them. There are reasons why a building is being demolished. Whether any of this can get trough to him - I don't know. But there are productive ways to be destructive - what about volunteering at a recycling centre? Smash all the glass you want... Marg [/QUOTE]
