I just got here but i will not leave either. I have been on the side of being the one who has he ambos called on and believe me even if it angers me in the moment I am GRATEFUL Later that someone intervened and prevented me from hurting myself or others. You're doing your son a solid by having the courage to call and get him the help he doesn't know he needs. You're a hero.
