[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 663987, member: 19245"] Thank you so much Copa. You always make me cry, but they are healing tears. Yes, I have been told that both my youngest son and I are still in real danger. We have an alarm system. We have more lights on outside and inside. I carry mace. I have been told to go to the gym instead of walking around the tract by myself. I should not ever park off by myself away from a lot of people. I have been asked if he knows where I teach. No, I have never told him since he has been ill, but it is very easy to find out online. I have been told to be very careful and always mindfull. I have been told that my youngest son should never see him unless it is in a hospital or at the police station with a lot of people present. I have talked about him about this. He responded, "Do you think I'm nuts?" I have also been told that he should never see him. Yes, the less severe therapist questioned why I write down notes to read and why I force myself to read violent cases. She understood why...but had the same concerns as you. You are right. It is not helping my PTSD. I know that...but I am trying to stop my numbing out. It is probably way too soon. I just do not want to minimize anymore. Maybe my consciousness is not ready yet... you are both correct, I should stop...at least for now. I will try to stop. It is not helping. It is just so very difficult to accept as fact! I know that I did the only thing that I could have done in this situation to keep us safe and protect my ill son from his actions. I was just praying that he would qualify for an involuntary commitment. I was so afraid that, I guess, that I never really thought of the flipside . . .that he would not qualify. I knew that I had to do everything possible for him to receive help. I needed to know that I did the upmost possible for him. I got the very best people in place. I waited a few more days in the hotel to have them on duty. But, he was just served and escorted away... They told my youngest son that they saw a lot of signs, but it was legally not enough. He has to state to them his delusions or hallucinations. Or I have to have visible marks on me. I am still in a haze. I want to wake up and all it all be gone! [/QUOTE]
