That's a lot to deal with, Theoretica. I'm so sorry for all the pain you're both feeling. It's very clear you love him. It's also clear for the safety of your family he cannot stay at the house anymore. I don't have any words of wisdom, but you're in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry. That must have been terrifying for you, and heartbreaking at the same time. Knowing that you can't bring him home, and that it's best for all of you if you don't, doesn't make it any easier, I'm sure.

I have so much love and respect for you. I am in tears reading your story. I pray that you will do what is best to protect all of you. Sending love and blessing your way.

My soul is crying with yours. I am sitting here reading your post and crying. You must protect yourself and your family. I know having him placed somewhere will be very, very hard but its what you have to do right now. Maybe things will get better after they can adjust his meds and has an extended stay at a residential placement. I wish there were something I could do to make you feel better. (((hugs))) If you are of faith, I am praying for you and your family.

I am so sorry you are going thru this.

What an unimaginably painful situation for both you and your son. You need to do what is right for the safety of everybody, including him.

My thoughts are with you.

I'm so very sorry! I can't imagine how hard this must be for you, because you obviously love him very much. You are right about it not being safe for him to come home.

I can't imagine what you are going through and how painful this must be to see.

I would gently point out that sometimes "being there" for a child means helping them be in the safest place possible for them. There's a huge difference between helping him be safe (even if that means he becomes a ward of the state) and abandoning him. Please don't add that burden to yourself. It sounds like you've done an amazing job with this young man.

I'm sitting hear reading your post with tears streaming down my face. I can't imagine being in your position although it could very likely happen to me. Both of my children have mentally ill birth parents. I'm sending you virtual hugs that the best situation can be found for both you and your son.
