[QUOTE="ShakinThingzUp, post: 99296, member: 4250"] Hi Sally, I am sorry you didn't get a quick response also... but, let me assure you... I haven't been visiting this site too long - a few weeks... and it is rare that you won't get a response quickly. So much happens on this site & is discussed that I can't seem to keep up. There are a lot of caring folks here. My son went through a spell of "fire-setting" a few years ago, while his step-dad was in Iraq. He was feeling depressed and abandoned at the time & PTSD was developing. It's a very long story, but basically, what I'm telling you is that the others are right --- fire setting - even a tiny bit of firesetting is a warning sign! Take the warning. Get him to see someone PRONTO. If you can't afford to, ask social services for help.... as scary as that sounds, it is more scary to let this go without getting him to see someone who can help you both. My sons depression/PTSD worsened and worsened to the point where it affected everything in life. The fire-setting was just a symptom of a much bigger problem. God Bless! Amy [/QUOTE]
