[QUOTE="Swabbie89, post: 230752, member: 6539"] Took difficult child to hospital yesterday to speak with the pnurse. I needed her approval for a referral to the base psychiatrist. On the way there my difficult child began to talk to me. I mean really talk. He talked about how he was feeling and some of the things that were going on "in his head". At first I was happy that he was finally sharing and hopeful that we were at last getting somewhere. This of course all turned to horror at the things he was saying. He told me about the abuses he suffered at his mother's house and his exposure, and participation in drugs and weapons. At one point my mind was screaming at me "NO MORE", but i let him talk. This went on for about an hour and a half. During the whole thing he was just bawling. Which is something he almost never does. Not genuinely anyway. He then admitted to stealing several knives from the kitchen and showed me where they were. I took them and put them away and thanked him for his honesty. After a while he sort of talked himself out and put himself to bed. An hour early. Which is something else he almost never does. Yesterday i had been researching early onset bi-polar and thought that he was a sure lock, given the fact that he had 11 of 15 markers. Now, I'm not sure. I hope i can get him into a residential program soon. I fear that my skillset and that of the local mental health department are just not up to the task. My little man is so very damaged and disturbed at this point in his life. Sorry no real question here, just needed to vent. [/QUOTE]
