I've posted this here, as it's urgent - very!
MyDS is 20. He has had mental health problems since his dad (schizophrenic) attacked & tried to kill us, when he was 12.
When he was in 6th form, he became violent, and attacked me, and held a knife to a girl. He took an overdose & was reffered to CMHT.
He has had numerous 'episodes' of self-harm, getting very drunk, breaking furniture at my parents, and going missing, so the police have looked for him.
When my DD1 was ill a while ago, my DS called me up to his place, and confronted me with a knife. There was blood over the walls & floors. The police arrested him, and he wsa assessed under mental health act, but released as they thought it was alcohol related.
Last night his GF phoned me, to say that he had cut himself, but had NOT been drinking.
He came round to mine, his cut was at least an inch thick. The police & ambulance came. He was taken to hospital. HE discharged himself, and the police came to see me (he did arrive at mine in a hospital gown). The cut is so severe on his arm, that they couldn't stich it, and he needs an operation. They are worried that it could suddenly bleed.
The police think he needs to be sectioned - but spoke to his CPN, who has said that he "doesn't have mental health problems, but it's alcohol related". This is fucking bullshit! The stupid cow has never seen him for more than a few minutes, and he acts normally.
The police have said they think he is not normal. He keeps saying his phone is bugged, that the cola corpotarion are evil, need to be taken down, and we are not real - he said this to the police officer today.
The police wanted to take hiim to hospital, as him arm is so worrying. But they can't as the CPN said he is of sound mind, and can refuse treatment.
I have phoned the mental health team, and said that if he hurts himself (he is still wanting to die) then I will haul them through the courts.
