I think you by means you did the right thing.

His talk about alcohol being involved in the incident ???? That’s the type of stuff women are often accused of “ well you were drinking so..” and some people who are victims believe that unfortunately.

It’s common for teenagers to start blowing off Therapy, it’s hard as adults to face trauma, children and especially teenagers certainly struggle and him being Male???! Well ... aren’t most men portrayed as tough and strong on TV , movies and all over social media??

Yes it can take time to find a psych bed, he can get mad all he wants , you need your child safe and he is where he’s at.

Once he’s inpatient with other teens it will help him realize he’s not the only one his age that struggles with all kinds of things.

I hope your son finds ways to help heal from the violent act done to him and how to move forward in a healthy safe manner.

You did good Mom
