[QUOTE="JKF, post: 632730, member: 12470"] Thanks Lucy. I'm a little angry at myself for allowing some hope to creep in. I had truly hoped that this was a step in the right direction for him. I had hoped that maybe there was a doctor or social worker who could help him. Instead he's been given Depakote and will be back on the streets Thursday where, let's be honest, he won't take the medications and will continue to become more mentally ill day by day. I have a call into the SW so I can address my concerns but I'm wondering if I should also write to the social worker and doctor to address my concerns. I have pages of Facebook posts from the last two months where difficult child expresses time and time again that he's going to kill himself and he knows how he's going to do it. There are pictures of him holding a razor blade and cuts on his arms. That should show a pattern of suicidal thoughts right? I don't want to jump back into my old pattern of "rescuing" difficult child but he's FINALLY somewhere where he can get help and that's not going to last long and it's freaking me out. That tried and true feeling of defeat has resurfaced once again. [/QUOTE]
