[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 668486, member: 19245"] Copa. I am so very sorry. I can't even imagine how you are feeling. You have been so brave and fought so tirelessly for your son. Your heart must be breaking. Yes, your son missed the appointments. He missed the last one because of his fear of an impending earthquake. You knew that the fear was false, but to him, it was very real. I am not excusing him. He missed 4 appointments. I forgot the other reasons. Did he start a fight one time? Do you think he made reasons to miss the appointments or was he truly afraid that there was going to be an earthquake? It was not my son, being just stubborn to not see a doctor. He thought that he would somehow die if he did. Or not be able to come back home. I will never know what his voices or delusions told him. Is there a way to talk to someone at the clinic and explain that it was your son's psychological state that prevented him from going? A hospital would surely understand that. You have medical records, I.E.P's, and psychological evaluations to back you up. His legal rights need to be protected. The hospital has social workers. Contact them on Monday. I know that you are mad. You have every right to be mad. Can I be mad at my son? Was it my son or his psychological state? Your son's irrational fears were stronger than his fears of the disease. That is what I meant by saying that, hopefully, he would get to a point that his fear of his disease would override his fear of possible disasters, or rather, perceived disasters. Threat override control, or T.C.O., is when their fear of something imaginary overrides their good sense. My ill son's fear of going to the doctor overrode his common sense not to kill his mother. That is why he held a jagged bottle to my throat. Your son is not trying to cause you pain. He is petrified of his perceived disasters and conspiracies. Please talk to a Social worker at the hospital where he missed his appointments. He still has legal rights. His mental illness should not preclude his right to getting his liver treated. [/QUOTE]
