[QUOTE="wintak, post: 441058, member: 11938"] OH, SO LOVES attention. And is always wanting to be "sick" or "hurt". Wants braces for his teeth NOW (he hasn't even lost enough baby teeth yet), wants braces for his legs (there's 'nothing wrong with them), a cast for his leg or his arm (he doesn't care), wants glasses for his eyes (no, he doesn't have a vision problem) so yeah, getting tons of attention at the hospital would have been good. On the other hand.... His manipulation cannot be tolerated. Throwing out things like this to see if he gets a reaction (which he did) is what he does. I'm learning to NOT react, but that is the first time he threatened hurts the all powerful "self". I had always said he'd NEVER hurt himself, he loves himself too much. I talk to him about things and he lies so much and manipulates so much that I have NO Idea if he truly had a plan or not. I know when he told me he was going to kill me with a knife at age 5, he had a plan. His pay off for the rampage is he got to see his mother calmly put him in the car and then make some phone calls. I didn't feed into it. Yeah for me. Hopefully won't have to cross this bridge again...but I know I've got to be prepared. I AM prepared to bring him in if he causes harm to someone or something else. I'm ready to cross that bridge. [/QUOTE]
