[QUOTE="klmno, post: 178086, member: 3699"] Thanks, Sue. Yes, I'm ok physically- emotionally, I'm broken hearted. I am having thoughts about where is the "line of enabling" here, too. But I am sure that I don't want him thrown in a situation that can never do more than make him worse for 2 years then let him out into society again and expect him to do better than before. When he expressed temptations about this, it was about 3 mos ago and I had fussed at him for something. He became angry and started to rage. I agreed with those here that said maybe it was a fight or flight response because it was shortly before a court date and we pretty much knew he'd have to do some time in detention. Anyway, after we had been in separate rooms for a little while, he came to me and said that maybe I should take him to psychiatric hospital because he was having thoughts and temptations to hurt me. We talked about it and his fear and stress about the detention. He was on risperdal at the time, I think. But shoot, I can deal with him coming to me and discussing these thoughts, as everyone has said- it is different when he takes action. I wonder now if the risperdal helped him to stop before he took action. I'll guarantee you this- if he tells me that again, I will take him to psychiatric hospital and make sure they understand that he probably is serious about trying to prevent something bad. [/QUOTE]
