Im broken now cant do this any more
@Former-Member
Hi Darcy ive had an awful day, ive cried all day. My son had another episode, very anger outburst. I remained calm let him lash out. I called the police and the ambo's but after 1/2 hr of talking with him they did not take him to hospital. I dont belive he is taking his meds again. He smashe a glass table cut his hand. With 30min of this episode he acted like nothing had happed]ned. Im so so tired and so so emotionally drained I just feel like giving up. My heart feels like it is breaking. I just need to stop stop stop and run away.
I hope this feeling doesnt last much longer as im not good with sadness and inside pain. I dont even know why im telling you this but for some reason I think you will understand.
Im so sorry to dump on you I just dont know who to turn to right now
Time

@Time@Shaz51 Hi Time and thank you for tagging me in to the conversation.Shaz51.It is terrible when your child is violent. I know only too well the feelings of when the police come to your door, only my child went to the mh wards 9 times out of 10 which was best for everyone concerned.
Am listening if you want to just unburden yourself.greenpea

Re: Im broken now cant do this any more
I am so sorry to hear this - sending very gentle thoughts your way. @greenpea was someone who immediately came to mind when I got your post and I saw that she and @Shaz51 had already responded. (Thanks Greenpea & Shaz). Greenpea is so much better able to understand the difficulties you had today than I can so please do take up her listening ear offer - she may be able to give you pointers as to how she manages.

Re: Im broken now cant do this any more
Hi @Time
I have been through something similar and know the feeling of not being able to continue - I understand - but really - what can we do but continue?
But it is terrible living on the edge as you are - as I have - and I wonder how old your son is right now -
But it is terrifying when someone gets out of control and violent - and what can you do to protect yourself
It is such a hard thing when a child - adullt child - any child - we love so much is so far out of control - and we need to care for ourselves - we really do - and it is really hard to work out how to do that
But we need to - please keep posting - the people who have already responded are supportive people and everyone is really understanding here
But I know the despair - how can things change? I get it - I hear you
Dec
