Day 4: Dialogue

This actually happened today...

Woman: My,..my son.. he wasn't.. I got a note saying that he wasn't I here. I told the....Mrs.------- that I would be picking him up and that she needed to watch him, but he is not here and I don't know what to do...where he is.. I need to know now..

Me: okay, ma'am, Mrs.------ is not answering phones, I can walk you to her office. Hold on a second..

Woman: okay...o..okay.

a minute or so later..

Me: Is he new?

Woman: Yeah, and he is having a ..just a hard time adjusting and..

Me: to school or the people..?

Woman: everything, he just...he is suicidal and I can't I don't know... I was going to get him and take him to the hospital..and he wrote this note the other A THREE PAGE GOODBYE LETTER and how he hates the world *crying*

Me: okay, lets stop for a second.. I know exactly how this is. I am link leader and I mentor, I run a support blog and I am involved in a suicidal awareness organization. I have experience with people who struggle with this.. my number is ########, my name is Alayna. Call me, have him call me, whenever I will ALWAYS be here for you guys.

Woman: thank you, thank you very much.. I just can't help him..

Me: I know, it is not an easy thing, but he hospital will help. They will watch him, keep him, give him the therapy he needs and medication. Trust me he will do well there.

Woman: I know, I am glad you think that as well.. i just..why..I can't help but I was coming to pick him and just take him right there because he..he doesn't take help easy at all and I was just going to get him out of the blue to him but now he isn't here..we don't where he is...we checked everywhere and his friends are complete assholes and they say they don't know...but I just need to find him. I will call when I do, thank you..

then we said our goodbyes... I haven't heard from her yet... *sigh.sniffle*

rough day...
