Ok in school so.....................

mumof4boys772

So this evening after having a huge huge meltdown in supermarket and threatening to kill himself in front of everyone and asking people to come kill him and getting home and him wanting to kill himself I once again took my son to a&e.

So because my son is ok in school and not at home the lady that spoke to me said its controlled behaviour and mentioned a parenting course!!!!!!!

So I totally give up now! I have had enough!

  • no, don't give up.  I used to be like your son.  It is a way of communicating deep distress.  He says it , and probably means it too, but you're a safe person to say it too.  One day he may say it in school and then there's two options, either they ignore it or he goes straight to hospital, both of which would be his wrong answer.

    I've made it through, but it has taken years, and on occasions only just made it through.  Do take care of him and love all four sons (which I know you do).  No answer here I'm afraid.  Just keep on going until we know how to help you both.
