The mental health workers told my son's dad to throw away my son's yellow helicopter. They said that since it was his first memory that would make him forget about life with me before him. I am tired of mental health workers interfering with my relationship with my son. What should I do? My son's dad won't even let me talk to my son.

How do you know this happened?

How often do you see your son?

If your son's father has full custody of this child, then there might not be a lot you can do right now. Having or not having the helicopter will not be what gives you a relationship with your son. When he gets older, he will decide for himself what he wants to do. Just do what you can, now, to let him know that you are thinking about him and caring about how he is doing.

I'm having difficulty understanding this. Why do you not have contact with your son. How do you know that's what happened to the helicopter? That would violate their professional priviledge.

That's sad. Why aren't you with him?

And where does the hypnotizing come in? I'm confused.

I don't want to come across as condescending that is so not my intention but I am compelled to ask you if you're taking medication of any kind?

It sounds like you're in a bad situation, that is just awful. I hope you feel better and get this stuff sorted out.

I've read all of joshuas-mommy's posts and I can't tell if she's getting any help or not. I worry.

Well, I have just read your posts to and I find them in question.

Joshuas-mommy, if you truly do see things this way I recommend you seek guidance from a professional. No amount of help I can give you will repair what is happening. A psychiatrist is the best person to assist you at this time.

I see that trust in the mental health system and professionals is something you question. If this is the case might I suggest that you take a trusted friend or family member with you. That way, if there is anything said you find improper you have a level headed witness. I strongly urge you to do this.

She knows that she has schizophrenia, and she mentioned seeing a therapist, but she sounds like she is not being treated. It's hard to tell.

Joshua's_Mom I am genuinely concerned for you. The world you live in is not kind to you. What do you think about my idea of taking someone with you to your therapist or doctor's appointments? I think it just might be a good thing to do.

What kind of supports do you have in place? Friends? Family? Mental Health support team? And how often do you see them? Are they accessible to you as you need them? Or do you find yourself on your own. I am lucky that I have a therapist that comes to my home and another available after hours. My having round the clock support has allowed me to focus on recovery.

Do you need a friend(s) to talk to? If you would like, you can talk to me. Feel free to PM if you need help or want to talk. I am sure too that there aare others also here that would allow you to reach out to them. You just have to ask.
