Please tell me we are going to be ok... I'm the father, always been emotionally stable & cool headed.. these last few days I can't even talk about anything without almost bursting into tears..
Brief history of how I found you.. We are what I call a typical family. Mother, Father, 14 year old easy child, 12 year old difficult child..
12 year old has always had some social interaction problems, but we always figured he would outgrow them. He had friends, but not many.. I guess we have been in denial too long that something "wasn't right".. After one week at school this year, we get called up there for a meeting.. This is when everything comes crashing down.
Counselor says we need to take him to get help. They get previous teachers to fill out a student review, and it hits us like a ton of bricks what the teacher say... They say hes angry, depressed, lies, destroys things.. We immediately call his physician and get a name of a child psychologist (actually she's a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)).
After the first meeting she tells us we have a very troubled child.. He is extremely angry, thinks nobody loves him, and is depressed. She is very worried and says we should have brought him in a long time ago..
I am so scared.. I want someone to tell me they have been through something similar, and their child is ok now.. I just want to hear a good story... please...
