[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Did anyone find Aiden's reaction over the top (the hysterical sobbing and saying "I should have been there.")? I'm divorced and have a 14 year old with disabilities that affect his behavior (mental health issues). I'm upset when things go wrong for him, and wish there were something I could do, but at the end of the day, I don't feel a lot of guilt - he's had a lot of love and support from both my ex and I, a lot of mental health treatment, and at the end of the day, he's going to have to work some of this out (or not).

It just didn't ring true to me, but I admit I may be biased by my own situation.

Has your 14 year old gotten drunk, stolen a car, run into a tree and ended up in the hospital with broken legs because he was upset you weren't there? [/quote]

Not that exact behavior, but equivalent (or perhaps worse, but to law enforcement involvement and a push for involuntary commitment).  As for his reasons for the behavior, sadly, I genuinely do not know - I strongly suspect it does not involve wishing I were there, which is its own separate issue.

Anyway, the difference may be that in my case it has been clear for a long time that something is very wrong.  Perhaps for Aiden, because this is newer, the reaction does make sense.  Thanks for the feedback.[/quote]

NP. I think that Aiden’s fear, panic, guilt, worry and sorrow is a typical reaction one would expect from a parent to a beloved child, who thankfully escaped a life-threatening situation and was injured. [/quote]
