Guys, it's been a hard day. My son called me to get him from school, but he knew I'd be at school, so he called his stepmom. She brought him to my house, but the door was locked. I found out a couple of hours ago that he'd planned to come home and o.d. on pills. Now he's feeling better, but what happens tomorrow, next time he wants out? I'm trying to find a counselor. My ex threw him out 2 mos. ago and it's destroying my son, who idolizes his dad. Please suggest things I can say/so to make it better.
I asked if he felt better that he'd talked to me, and he said yes. I'm working to find an affordable counselor. He cuts on his arms now and then, and is taking Abilify (low dose) for mood stabilizing.
I lost one child to an accidental death many years ago. I can't even bear to think of something happening to either of my sons. They are such treasures and deserve all of the richness that life offers after teenager-hood.
In peace and fear and with affection, thanks.
