So, the police just left. Mac called 911 and was screaming so they sent 2 officers. He barricaded himself in his room and since they are police officers and not counselors or social workers all they saw was a kid acting "not normal". They wanted to take him to a hospital for evaluation, but I told them I would call our therapist and ask her if I needed to take him in.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Unsurprising the therapist does not think that a trip to the psych hospital would help mac come down from a highly agitated state.

He has calmed down, is not at all ready to talk, but he is watching cartoons and he just now let me give him a small hug.
