Well we got a great deal of information today. It was very difficult to hear my child’s darkest thoughts. It was also very troubling to hear that he really doesn’t think he has a future in life. He has so many gifts and so much going for him.
Our doctor is excellent. He is willing to take on my son’s care while we stabilize him, but he also said that my son needs to step outside his comfort zone and seek therapy. It is his opinion that a major part of my son’s issues are due to the torment he got while in main stream school attacking his sexuality (before he even had a sexuality). I feel so stupid. We've always accepted him the way he is and surrounded ourselves with postive non-judgemental people that it didn't even occur to me that this could be an issue. I know it's out there, but I thought we did a pretty good job keeping that hate from our life.
I feel a great deal of hope that he was mature enough to reach out for help so early in his life. I'm also very angry that in 2010 there is still so much hate and harrassment in the world.
