[QUOTE="Lostmom75, post: 643960, member: 18685"] This is very new to me. There is so much to tell I don't know where to begin. I've updated my post with just yesterday's occcurances but I will try to keep going it's very hard for me to talk to others because it's always just been me and My kids. I sat last night and read a bunch of threads and hence why I joined. School was always a struggle but he maintained until junior year when he had a breakdown at school and they called the state crisis center who brought him to the ER for an evaluation. They couldn't calm him down so they admitted him to a facility. He is a smart kid and was able to convince the doctors to let him go the next day. He started therapy after this - the therapist at that time diagnosed him with PTsd from an incident he had at 14 getting arrested and being beaten badly by the police. My son one day text me saying goodbye and that he was diving his truck I to a wall. When I told the therapist this he said to me "I could see why this is concerning to a mother" my son soon after stopped seeing him. He has gone to a new therapist who thinks my son was telling the other therapist what he wanted him to know "wrapping him around his finger" and does not believe he has ptsd but depression but refuses medicine. As the days go I'll post more. [/QUOTE]
