[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 746193, member: 22819"] Thank you <3 I had the most heart-wrenching conversation with L today. He begged me to come back. He says he's realized a lot about himself, like that he's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and that he's an addict and can never touch weed or alcohol again. He spoke of a rape that happened one of the times he ran away here. He said he needed to be with us, his family. That he loves us. HE CONFESSED TO TRYING TO POISON ME. And a bunch of other confessions too. He used the code phrase I gave him to let me know that he was being listened to, and that he always is, and can't talk freely, and that he's not safe there. The doctor (who manages the center, not a psychiatrist) warned me that he would say these things. The psychiatrist sent me an email, finally. EEG results came back normal. He says this is bad news because it means the drugs won't work (???). Nothing will change. He will likely grow into a full-blown psychopath. They can keep him there, but I can not expect change. By the end of the convo with L, I was ready to go get him. And now I'm going to share something that might make me lose some credibility, but I saw a psychic last week and she told me that I mustn't bring him back yet. I told her NOthing about his diagnosis, and she said narcissist and sociopath several times during the reading. It was weird. She knew a bunch of other stuff too. So, I need to keep her in my head and remember that I cannot bring him back. Right? Or should I ? I'm feeling panic now. My heart wants him here. My head knows better. So I called one of these other centers (we'll call it Clinic 2) and at least they sound better over the phone. This doctor from Clinic 1 makes all kinds of spelling mistakes, and says the stupidest things like "Just stay home and pray, señora". The person I talked to at Clinic 2 said all the right things. .....(phone calls)..... Clinic 2 will go get him with an ambulance and a team. Biodad is going to do papers. They're moving him today! This is good. Very good. HERE IS MY VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION - So, if he's a psychopath, how is it possible that the EEG came back normal? Shouldn't it show smaller amygdala and more (or less?) gray matter? Does this mean they were only looking for signs of epilepsy/seizures? [/QUOTE]
