Quote From: r5kidsI am a mom of five children (17 years to 16 months)...the issue today is our 17 year old son who has lied to us very recently and lost his driving privileges until he is 18 (5 1/2 months). He is seeing a 15 year old girlfriend whose mother has filed charges against another 17 year old for RAPE!!! Our son sees nothing wrong with this problem. The other night, my sister and son were talking via Internet and he shared with her a dream that he had...him seeing his whole family dead. That frightened me . So last night, my husband and I took our son to the local hospital for help. Because he was not SUICIDAL nor HOMICIDAL, they would not admit him for observation (which is fine), but did send us off with names and numbers of psychologists to talk to him. There is help out there...but as a mom who gave birth to this "little boy" it bothered me to think for one minute that my son could hurt anyone. But I am glad that we did take him (and he went voluntarily) to the hospital.
I also have had my son write on a piece of paper people that he wants to see dead when he reaches the age of 18 or 21 yrs. I am a Christian woman who tries to use Heaven and Hell to discuss such things. My son has been raised in a semi christian home (me being christian and his dad not being christian) So far it has seemed to help.
I wish you the best of luck with your son and it sounds like he is looking to get better because he agreed to go to the hospital with you. That is a step, even if a baby step.
God Bless you and keep you and yours.
