[QUOTE="Beanner, post: 719271, member: 22275"] Hi, I am new to the group and I am sure I will upset some people by saying this, but after our last family therapy session I feel no hope of re-connecting to my son. We have battled depression/anxiety for years. 90% of the time I was the only parent because my husband was at work, or to emotional (angry) to be the leading parent. Last November, a depressive episode hit my son, in April it turned bad. We have had self injury,property damage, and suicide attempts. on Wednesday I had to call the police and force my son back into the hospital. Of course he was angry. While doing our family session my son was so hateful and mean towards me. He has been in the past but this was like on mean on steroids. Even told the therapist that I am just doing things ( taking away his phone, car or trying to get him to take his medication ) to have power over him,and that I do not have his best interest at heart and basically I am a liar and have broken his trust. Like I said he has been angry and mean before but somehow he said the words just right that I broke. I just don't know that I can heal and help him anymore. I am hoping maybe someone has words of wisdom that will help me get back in his corner but right now I just feel like fading into the background. [/QUOTE]
