Hey everyone I love my son2 like all our family do but sometimes his moods are so violent and aggressive. If it wasnt for his medication I would be the target, I wouldnt last for long. Just needed to get it off my chest. pea 😞

Thank you @Bunniekins
They will ring me back. Always hard to know if the behaviour isais a result of mi or meds or just being 19. I'm still in bed, will wait for call and then force myself to get up and face the day. I hope things have settled down for you hun. You have a lion's serving of what you have on your plate. I cannot begin to imagine. My older son also has said he'll not be having kids as a result of living with his brother, yes that is sad. In truth lm happy if neither do. We've been through so much and it's still a long road. I don't know that they could cope if history repeats with one of their children. Sending you a huge hug.❤️

The next generation and the "circle of life" can be nice in theory and in books. Real life is not very neat. Had a better phone conversation today.
@AnastasiaHearing you about not knowing whether things are deliberate or not. With the heavy duty meds they throw about they ought to cut them some slack. However putting some effort in, does help.

Glad you had a better call today @Appleblossom that is good news.
Sadly last weekend he was lazy, today was legit, mania, no sleep feels like crap but no slack cut due to last weekend. He was a different person yesterday, one I am not looking forward to coming home. My question to them, is it the new meds. How can they send someone home having changed meds potentially that can be disastrous! I'm at my wit's end.

Hi @Shaz51
Hugs@Bunniekins
@Anastasia
They make dumb decisions all the time. Not only the patients I mean. My son was sent home earlier this month. I was reluctant but felt forced to agree. It lasted 14 days before he was back in with an escalation, which is "expensive" all round. For him, family and services.
Sadly I have seen a lot of mistakes leading to suicide, so I am into straight talking.
They, MH system and protocols, need to up their game, to gain credibility and respect. Its not just about throwing money at a system and everyone sitting in offices with nice shoes.

@Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Anastasia @Emelia8 @Krishna yes there is no consideration to the mental torture or anguish that the families and carers go through. It is like we cannot see the damage done so everything must be okay. It is criminal really as it affects everyone including the patient.
