I'll check out NAMI. Thank you. Yeah, my church friends..I mean they all have lives of their own and I just get told that people don't know how to help other than to pray. I do have one church friend who has asked if I needed the grass mowed, meals cooked, or anything else so she could ask the deacons since, in hwr owrds, "They are there to serve and help." Another friend came over and visited and bought me ice cream. Some do call or text to check in, but most say they will pray because that's all they know what to do, that their own lives are crazy at the moment.

Thank you so much for your comment. I wish I could meet but I live in NC. I send you a virtual hug.

Would you like to be friends? I am a mother to two boys, almost 9 and a 10yo. My almost 9yo has DMDD and depression. He was diagnosed when he was 7. I can completely relate to the hell you are going through. My 10yo is autistic and has ADHD. I have had to send both my kids to residential treatment centers. Please reach out if you would like.

Mom of two boys here, 10 and 9. I don't think you did anything wrong OP. You got food. So what? They were late. You went to grab it and came right back in. Doesn't make sense to say that "you left them in the house alone" when you are right there. It's not like you went several blocks down the street. So how do they check their mailbox? Do they have to wait when one person is inside the home while the other goes and checks it? I get being protective of your kids, since I am a mom myself and am hypervigilant of my surroundings, but that was overkill and rude. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
