I keep questioning myself....
I know in my heart and my head that my son is seriously troubled. But...although I've had him admitted to the hospital due to him having suicidal thoughts and admitting to me that my 10 year old daughter is not safe near him, I still question whether I'm overreacting or not.
I have no idea what's in store for us. We're meeting with the psychiatrist at 10 am this morning and my nerves are shot.
Part of me is ready, willing and able to beg for them to find a program for him outside of our home where he will get the help he needs. The other part of me is torn up over even thinking these things.
I am losing it? damn right I am!!!
I'm trying to protect one child from another, while the mommy in me wants to nurture both, yet my son drives us crazy.
I think he's bipolar or schizophrenic, yet, up until now, all he's been diagnosed with is ADHD and a mood disorder.
How did you guys get the help your kids needed?
I could really use some advice.
I'm in Alberta, Canada. If anyone is in this area...are there any services I can request?
