[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 199402, member: 1233"] I am sorry you are hurting and scared. just because this wasn't his worst meltdown, or most violent, doesn't mean that you didn't do the right thing. I kNOW that having the sheriff take my difficult child to the shelter when I did was the right thing. Previously he had almost killed his sister, we let him come home. He HAD beaten me more severely than he did that day. But THAT day, when he was beating me, I had had ENOUGH. TOO much sometimes is ENOUGH. This may just make a man out of your son - IF you don't "rescue" him from the shelter or his own decision. I know that my parents took my son, and I really did not want that. I was trying to get him into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). BUT they wound up making whatever needed to happen happen, and now MY difficult child is pretty much a easy child. YOUR difficult child NEEDS to see you NOT back down from this decision. The decision that you will NOT be threatened, intimidated, disrespected, or otherwise mistreated. It may also help your younger difficult child learn to respect you. It is going to hurt. For a LONG time. He is going to say he hates you. That is going to hurt too. I can tell you that it took almost 2 years before I could look at baby pics of either of my boys (they look so alike at the same ages, so both of their baby pics hurt terribly). A lot of other moms here have experience with this. Talk to us, vent to us, let us support you, even if family or the ex and inlaws won't. Let us be here for you. Know we are. If you want my phone number to talk, let me know. Or I will call you to talk if you want. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
