This day certainly hasn't ended the way it began. We were just arriving in Roanoke when we got a call from the SRO at my son's school. Seems he was mouthing off again and making threats (he is claiming that he's misunderstood). He was taken into custody and taken to our local hospital for psych evaluation. We turned right around and headed straight back home. I think I'm still in shock about the entire situation. He seems convinced that everyone is against him and just wants to get him in trouble. His behavior has been escalating, so we have to take this seriously. He will be evaluated by a pediatric psychiatrist/psychologist in the morning and it will be determined if he needs to be placed in a facility or if we can bring him home. Part of me is angry at him, for saying things he knows he shouldn't, but my heart is breaking into a million pieces right now. I couldn't stay with him tonight, but it was so hard to walk out of that room. He was being beligerant at one point, which seriously worries me. I feel like a walking train wreck right now. Very few people know about this, but I feel like this is a safe place to air my feelings. I thought I knew what heartbreak was when my first husband died. But looking into your almost grown son's eyes, yet still seeing your baby boy, and knowing you are incapable of fixing this, was more than I could bear. Please keep us in your prayers.

You are doing right by him. This is the hardest part of parenting. Just keep putting his best interests first and you will always do the right thing. Give the rest to God and He will see you through. 💙🙏

I understand a little bit. My son when he was in school made similar claims and got him in trouble periodically. It ended up, in his senior year, placing him in a school that was primarily for children with behavior issues. I said "I understand a little bit" because each situation is different, and it's also different how mom's and dad's deal with it. I pray it is a season that will pass and become one of his best teachers. God bless.

Havent been on my dear sweet friend so I apologize for not being here for you..Ive asked this question before...has he been tested for being bipolar ..it has a tendency to rear its ugly face during the teenage years due to all the changes they go through that they just cant adapted to it ...
I know its tough for you but there will be an answer and hopefully he can get control again and begin to feel better...hes just scared and confused as everyone else is... I know it will be fine once you its figured out whats got a hold of him...hes not a bad young man..just afraid.
continue to support him with love even if he acts like he doesn't want it ...he does need it...and so hes not as afraid...you will know soon whats up and things will get under control again...huge hugs and my love to you and all your family thats having a difficult time with this....I love you my friend very much...Im here for you always sweetie xoxoxo;)

Bunny, read this on my insistence,and she said young teens who have been holding a secret or secrets for yrs.will at this stage of life will become rebellious..she says it's good that he will be evaluated by a psychologist and to make sure they ask all questions from a to z..she says if they do that they will find the problem..p.s. she keeps mentioning sexual assault..so there l said it..you need to make sure.

I don't want to take this in a different direction, but mental health has become a serious issue within our society. Particularly our youth. I hope things turn out OK for you and him.

my heart goes out to u. bipolar will show itself in the teens. I have 2 sons with mental illness. My oldest is scitzo effective disorder with adhd. And my baby is autistic with adhd. My oldest sees demons and hears them. hasn't had an episode for 3 yrs now and is holding a job. So as u can imagine we've been through alot, with schools, doctors, and neighbors. I hope they can figure your son out soon. And remember counseling isn't just for him. but a place where u can voice your concerns and cry when necessary.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughts and prayers. We are currently following the deputy who is transporting our sin to a pediatric psychiatric facility in Charlotte NC. I did not get much sleep last night, my stomach has been in knots. We were able to visit with him for awhile before the deputy arrived. I think the worst part for me is going to be the fact that I most likely won't be able to have contact with him for the first 48 hrs or maybe more. We are praying this place can provide the answers and help him with whatever is going on in his head. I have let him know he is loved and that this is happening to help him. Fortunately, we have friends in Charlotte, so we can stay with them and have their support. I don't know how long he will be there.i appreciate your prayers and support. It means a lot!

I'm so sorry that you're going through this right now. We had a similar event with my son two years ago. He had the police escort to the county hospital for a psych evaluation following a severe anxiety attack at school. He'd barely been holding himself together and finally exploded. I thought he was just being dramatic, but in retrospect, I see it was a huge cry for help. He was eventually diagnosed with anxiety/depression and ADHD. Now, though, after TONS of counseling (at school and private) and after working with a psychiatrist, he is a completely different kid. Yes, we medicate him, but it has made all the difference. His school also wanted to place him at an alternative school, but I waited to see if the meds were working and now he's less volatile and earning all A's and B's. We literally spent an entire summer with him in his room screaming and crying. Your story is bringing this all back to me. It was stressful and upsetting at the time and I still worry, but things are much better now. I want you to know that there is hope.
