Little rhino, thank you so much for you words, it means a great deal to me. I am beside myself with concern and yes, anger. I realize when the police took custody, they advised me unless there was a waiver signed by him, they didn't have to release any information. Naturally, I am sure they haven't asked him to sign any waivers. I have tried calling the local NAMI chapter but this happened on Friday, I didn't know the full charges until 7pm and at that point it was too late. Everything grinds legally to a halt on Friday and doesn't start up again until Monday. Fortunately, today I was able to locate a Criminal Defense Attorney that probably can get into the medical hospital he is being held at as long as they don't transfer him tonight. I am trying hard to keep a good attitude and stay strong, for I know we are just at the beginning of this battle, on many fronts.
If there ever was an example of why not to put off seeking therapy, this is IT! I knew my son was having trouble, but i just didn't know how bad the trouble was; or i guess I didn't pay attention to how serious it really was for him apparently. I can't dwell on that, but i know it is true, this might have been totally preventable on many levels, if i'd just pushed him into therapy. Anyway thank you so much for the kind words.
