Guest guest Posted May 12, 1998 Report Share Posted May 12, 1998 Help! Got to son and daughter-in-laws house and is hiding under the bed telling me he won't go to the Dr. because they will take his body apart. I get him out and carry him to car soothing him and Connie says, " See, I told you not to watch Simpson's " She said there were 2 cartoon characters doing something like that. Why can't this extremely brilliant child tell the differance between reality and unreality anymore? He was angry during the drive. She had her window down and he wanted it up (it is cold and rainy here). We were taking him in for an ear infection. I said nicely he asked her to roll it up and she said he's not cold, he's just saying that because he's mad at me. I rolled it up from my side and got angry telling her she is an adult and he is 4 and it IS cold and he has an ear infection. Then he's screaming he hates her and will kill her and how no good he is etc. I tell her I am under as much stress as her seeking help all day and no one can or will help him. She calms down. When we get there he is writhing all over out of my arms trying to run out in the parking lot. I ask him if he will see the Dr. if he can spend the night at my house and he says he will have to sleep in the tub as he is no good. I finally fought him all I physically could and managed to get him to the reception desk and say loudly I need help NOW! They don't get what's going on. Connie calls Shane from work and tells him to come. I wait in the waiting rm, they don't see his reg. Dr., Shane tells Connie to get out of the rm, and then he comes out holding who is calm in his dad's arms. He doesn't tell me anything as he is in a rush to get back to work. I say are you mad at me and he says no, I said we HAD to call you, it was unreal, and he says I know, I saw it. And off they drove. This little boy WILL commit suicide without intervention and I am so scared. I don't know what to do. I am in hopes of reaching the ADHD clinic tomorrow which is about 4 hrs away but he is so good with kids with these problems. Maybe he can or will help us. I will have to get him an emergency open medical coupon to go there. One place I called today wanted him chked into the hospital for observation and safety and I said that would scare him to death. If he needs removed from the home he needs to come here. Does anyone have any idea what the hell is happening here? I want to demand they chk him for the mito, is this life and death enough NOW? or does a 4 yr old have to die to get any help? My mind is going a million differant ways all at once. S.
