WELL TIME TO UPDATE. I QUIT THAT JOB AND I DID GET AN ATTORNEY, WE ARE STILL PENDING COURT. I GOT ANOTHER JOB AS A MANAGER AT DENNYS BUT ONCE AGAIN MY SON GOT IN TROUBLE IN SCHOOL AND I HAD TO LEAVE. WELL THE SHORT OF IT I WAS LEFT WITH NO CHOICE MY JOB OR MY CHILD I WAS FIRED FOR LEAVEING MY SHIFT.  I AM CURRENTLY ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND GOING BACK TO SCHOOL. ALL OF MY KIDS HAVE SEEN A NEW DOCTOR AND THEY NOW HAVE ASPERGERS  WHICH SEEMS MORE FITTING. I AM UPSET WITH DISCOLL HOSP HERE IN CORPUS MY OLDEST SON WAS IN THE HOSP FOR A BONE INFECTION THAT MADE HIM STOP WALKING HE IS 10 WHEN WE GOT RELEASED AND HE COULD WALK. AS WE WERE LEAVING HE HAD A MELT DOWN I WAS TRYING TO DEAL WITH IT AND BEFORE I COULD THERE WERE NURSES AND PEOPLE AND SECURTITY GUARDS ALL JUMPING IN CAUSEING A TOTAL MESS ALL THAT MADE IT WORSE IF THEY WOULD ONLY HAVE STOPPED INTERFERING. AND HE GOT WORSE AND STARTED CUSSING THE NURSE WAS HOLDING HIM DOWN I WAS TOLD TO GO GET MY CAR I DIDNT WANT TO I WANTED TO CALM HIM. IT GOT OUT OF CONTROL. HE HIT HER AND SHE YELLED THAT SHE WAS CALLING THE POLICE CAUSE HE IS 10 AND CAN BE PROCUTED HERE IN CORPUS.THE COPS CAME PUT MY SON IN A COP CAR MADE ME FOLLOW BEHIND WHILE I WATCHED MY SON ACT LIKE A WILD ANIMAL CLAWING HIS WAY OUT OF THE CAR HE WAS ON THE WINDOW/DOORS SCREAMING AND CRYING AND CRYING THEY TOOK HIM TO A BEHAVIOR HOSP. AND HE IS STILL THERE. BEEN A WEEK  AND HAVE PUT HIM ON SO MANY DRUGS. I DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE I DIDNT WANT HIM TO GET A RECORD FOR SOMETHING THAT NURSE STARTED. MY GOD HE HIS A CHILD. AND WITH A DISABLITY AT THAT IT IS VERY UPSETING TO ME. AND THE COP SAYS HE NEEDS LONG TERM MENTAL HEALTH HE NEEDS TO BE PLACED IN A HOSP FOR GOOD BEFORE HE GETS HURT OR HURTS SOMEONE ELSE.  HE DONT KNOW MY SON. HE BASED IT ON HIS MELTDOWN. I AM NOT SAYING MY SON WAS RIGHT HE SHOULD NOT OF HIT OR CUSSED. BUT LOOKING THROUGH HIS EYES I AM THINKING I AM 10 I WAS WALKING SUDDENLY I STOPPED WALKING. I HAD BLOOD TESTS AND AND ULTRA SOUND WAS GIVING SHOTS AND I WAS CONFUSED AND SCARED AND I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT AND I WANTED SOMETHING RIGHT THEN. AND WHEN I DIDNT GET WHAT I WANTED I WENT IN TO MELTDOWN. I WAS REALLY UPSET OVER MY CONFUSION. BUT I USED THE ITEM I WANTED FOR A REASON TO GO IN TO MELTDOWN. I HAD BEEN BRAVE AND GOOD IN THE HOSP. AS I WAS LEAVING IT BECAME TO OVERWHEIMING.)  I AM UPSET THAT IT CAME TO THAT AND I CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH MY FEELINGS OF FEELING LIKE I DIDNT HELP MY SON. AND I WONDER IF I SHOULD HAVE THROWN MY OWN MELTDOWN AND STOOD UP MORE FOR HIM.
