My son who’s 24 has had years of suffering from poor mental health which have caused him to engage in life threatening behaviours. He’s often just discharged from the hospital into my care and obviously I’m not trained in mental health. I’ve done my best to support him over the years but feel it’s safer if he’s doesn't come home this time. He’s just been placed on a 136 and are currently waiting for an assessment to see if he should be placed on a further section. They have asked for my views and I’ve said I feel it’s best he’s placed somewhere for his mental health. I feel like a bad parent for saying this but I just want him to get help and be safe which I don’t think I can offer him anymore.
