<p>Hi Moebee, I am so sorry to hear this. It is so heart wrenching. In this day in time we here so much about suicides and about mental health. But the fact is it really doesn't affect us as individuals unless it's one of our own or someone we love. I do agree it ha been really bad. Until our son was moved he wasn't getting any help at all. It was horrible. Not the medical help he needed or the mental health part. Once they moved him to shore duty, his commanding officer really seems to care…</p>
<p>Hi Moebee, I am so sorry to hear this. It is so heart wrenching. In this day in time we here so much about suicides and about mental health. But the fact is it really doesn't affect us as individuals unless it's one of our own or someone we love. I do agree it ha been really bad. Until our son was moved he wasn't getting any help at all. It was horrible. Not the medical help he needed or the mental health part. Once they moved him to shore duty, his commanding officer really seems to care and stepped it up 100%. Our son is now getting the physical therapy he needs from his accident and also getting help for the mental health part. It's so sad that they are discharging your son instead of getting him the help he needs right away. Our son was on restrictions for 2 or three months also. It was horrible not being able to talk to him. I am praying for you and your family. For peace and guidance. But I also agree with you 100% it seems like no better place for him to be then home where he can get the help that he needs. Again I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this .....It's horrible and the Navy really needs to step it up to do more to help our men and woman in their times of need!!</p> Going through the same thing-…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2019-12-19:1971797:Comment:107063642019-12-19T16:16:55.084ZMoeBeehttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/MoeBee

He had an impeccable record not one mark on him - they took the low road and are discharging him instead of getting him the treatment he needed. The incident was the day after Veterans day- his first Psychiatrists appointment scheduled for get this.......... JANUARY 8th! 2 months after a suicide attempt - horrendous. My son had just enlisted for 6 more years was set to go back to Japan for 3 years on May and they are now discharging him. I am OK with that part because the Navy has done absolutely NOTHING for this situation= they preach Suicide is taken seriously- well I know first hand it is NOT. He will be just fine in the Civilian world has a strong work ethic and at this point I just want out son HOME where WE can actually follow up on his treatment and get him well and sane again. They failed our son. </p> Going through the same thing-…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2019-12-19:1971797:Comment:107064172019-12-19T16:14:24.999ZMoeBeehttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/MoeBee

So glad to hear this. Sounds like you had much to be thankful for. Hopefully he'll totally be the new, improved version of himself soon.

Hey all, Wanted to give an update. I'm sorry I have been MIA. Our son seems to be doing better. He was moved to Limbo and a different place doing shore duty. His new chief seems to really care about his situation. He has gotten to talk to counselor a few times as well as started physical thearpy every week. Praying he will heal physically and mentally. We got to go down and pick him up for Thanksgiving so he got to spend a few days home. It was so nice and he seemed to be himself for the most…

<p>Tabitha, I know I am coming late to this post. Let me say this first, I am so sorry that you son is going through this. There should be Ombudsman for your son command, their "job" is to be a conduit between wife, mothers, fathers, child and command. If you can find out who is the ombudsman for your son command and see if they can help you voice you concerns. Also, maybe have you son go talk to the Chaplain in his command, that is what they are there for to help the sailors in command. Since,…</p>
<p>Tabitha, I know I am coming late to this post. Let me say this first, I am so sorry that you son is going through this. There should be Ombudsman for your son command, their "job" is to be a conduit between wife, mothers, fathers, child and command. If you can find out who is the ombudsman for your son command and see if they can help you voice you concerns. Also, maybe have you son go talk to the Chaplain in his command, that is what they are there for to help the sailors in command. Since, I dont know where he is stationed, but you might do a little bit of research about his command and the base he is at. I hate to say this, you might have to make some noise to get something done. It saddens me that this still happens within the Navy. </p>

BSNukemom, I seen your message but for some reason I am not able to respond to it. Thank you so much for the advice and kind words. I'm sitting down right and going through all of the links I have been given and contacting the chaplain and ombudsman. I'm so grateful for you all and the support you provide. I'd be one lost mama without you all ♡
