I know that I have posted about Ben, our bipolar son, before. But yesterday was just awful.
Ben's teacher, Dana, called me yesterday and told me that Ben was suspended for today because he picked up a chair and tried to hit her with it. Can all of you who are parents even imagine that the beautiful boy that you brought into this world would pick up a chair to try to hit his teacher?
Ben started hitting himself and biting himself and saying that he wanted to kill himself at school. If he keeps saying that he wants to kill himself we have to commit him to the children's psych ward - 72 hours minimum - where he has been 3 times before. Luckily, it is a wonderful facility.
I also just realized that Ben may need us to take care of him for the rest of our lives which I will do gladly but who is going to take care of him when we can no longer do so?
I am very depressed and I am out of ice cream.
