[QUOTE="Dollhouse, post: 254329"] I spoke with the screener; they said he is fine and is not exhibiting any sucidal or homicidal tendancies. I told the screener that if you saw him a mere 5hrs ago, that it was a different story. They said he was honest and open about his drug use, that he felt remorse, yada, yada, yada. He said he wants to go to counseling. I told the screener he may be saying that so that he can be released -- that there is no guarantee that this won't happen again, even tonight. They feel there is no need to keep him to for psychiatric evaluation. This is ridiculous. I go to NAMI (National Association for Mental Health) to get help and they tell me "call crisis -- they'll hold him for 72hrs). Well they don't know what they are talking about. Why am I trying to get counseling, etc when they won't help us?!? So, I may have to go get him and we are trying to decide if the only stipulation is that he assign an advanced directive so I have management over his health matters before we decide he can come home. My mother has offered to let him stay at her place for a few days, however she won't tolerate the beligerent attitude. Life ***...I wish God were here. [/QUOTE]
