From: - about your son

[Guest guest]

Hi, ,

We've been just exhausted.

The testing worked out lousy. The tester falsely accused my boyfriend

of cussing at my son in the bathroom. (The bathrooms were down the

hall, outside of her office. She never left her office. Additionally,

the tester was a female and couldn't have been in the men's bathroom.

Finally, I was there the entire time and it simply didn't happen.) The

psychologist wrote a letter for us to take to court with us and in the

letter said that she was preparing to take the child out of the home--a

drastic step when no medications have been tried yet, which is what she

had indicated would happen first. Also, the psychologist told us that

she couldn't say anything until she had the test results which would

take a week or two. So, in short, we need a new psychologist or

somebody.

My son went to court and got so stressed out just going there (all they

did was give him a court date to listen to his case--nothing else. They

didn't talk to him or anything.)--my son got so stressed, that when he

came home he slammed his hand through a glass window pane and had to

have stitches in his hand. Thanksgiving Day night, he called 911 again

and hung up on them. When they called back twice, he grabbed the phone

and slammed the phone again. This brought out some very angry police

officers who told him that the next time he did this, they were going to

arrest him. So, the next night, he did it again and hung up again. I

talked them out of coming, so they didn't arrest him.

Then my son threw a major fit in the house and got my father very upset.

My father, who shares in this sickness, then became very unreasonable

and threatened again to throw all our things out of the house. This,

naturally, made my son much worse, so the whole thing just cycled.

It's still a mess and we're all so very tired. I made more phone calls

today, trying to get help from someone. I make what living I make, as a

musician. This is my busiest month of the year, so you can imagine what

it's like, trying to work and dealing with all of this.

Apparently psychologist/psychiatrists/ etc around here have no

experience with this and are totally in the dark. They don't even seem

to understand what I'm living through!

So, that's the long and short of it. Thanks for asking. I haven't had

much to say, so I haven't posted.

I haven't seen any postings from you lately . . . I've been worried

about you and your son and your family - are you okay?
