[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 679718, member: 3419"] I just wanted to echo your thoughts on the mental health service and the police and courts. Useless. I pressed charges against my son and had ALL the paperwork. The det. hardly had to do anything. It's been months and nothing has happened. And he's not got the illnesses your son has, but still, it's more than aggravating. My daughter is getting her doctorate in psychology and she has dealt with many pts like your son. One of her favorites lived at St. Elizabeth's in Difficult Child and was involuntarily committed for killing a man ... who woke him up on the couch by getting in his face and touching his shoulder. He had no idea he had done it, until one day in group art therapy with her, he had sort of an epiphany and he started to tremble and cry. He felt so guilty and just hated himself. He had to be removed from the room. I cannot imagine having to live with a disease like that. My heart goes out to you and your son. No idea what to say or do about the baby-to-be, except may to keep soc. svcs and police on speed-dial. {{hugs}} Welcome. So sorry you had to find us, but so glad that you did. [/QUOTE]
