[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 708884, member: 13303"] This situation is going to explode in a big way if you do not get relief soon. You and your entire family INCLUDING your son deserve and REQUIRE a break. He is lucky that you are so devoted to him and love him so much, but please recognize your love has limits. Yes he's mentally ill and therefore not really to "blame" for the damage he causes, but an accidental fire burns down a house just as surely as an intentionally set blaze would. In the end, the reasons for his behavior don't really matter when the behavior is as destructive, delusional and dangerous as this. You have a duty to yourself, your family, your son and your community to do everything you can to keep your son from hurting others. Can you have him psychiatrically hospitalized based on the drawing you describe, which is clearly homicidal in nature? I am sorry to say that from what you are describing, it sounds like your son needs a locked environment AWAY from your home, where he cannot possibly "graduate" to the level of acting out these fantasies. It is a terrible thing to accept, the fact that our beloved children are so sick that we cannot reach or help them. I am very sorry for what we all have gone through. Your situation sounds extreme and potentially life-threatening for yourselves, people in your community, and your son. I hope you are able to make a serious change in the situation soon before tragedy strikes. All the best to you and apologies if any of my comments sound harsh. [/QUOTE]
