My 911 Call, The "Attempted Murder" of My Daughter, & Oppression of the Family Death Penalty

[EFerrari]

91. Like this?

The very first time Doug had an episode, he collapsed against a wall in the living room and starting bleeding from the head. I knelt next to him to assess his injury and called 911 at the same time. When the cops got there, they put him in an ambulance and arrested me. My jeans were soaked with blood from the knee down. They took me to jail barefoot. No one bothered to stop and look at what they were seeing.

Or, like this?

One meds recalibration went very badly for Doug once. He decompensated and literally couldn't get out of bed.
He missed his group meeting to get refills at the Edelman Clinic in L.A. because his brain was so scrambled he couldn't move, let alone dress and get down to the clinic.

So, when I managed to get him there after a week or so, the group leader refused to give him refills for his prescriptions to "teach him a lesson". Apparently, this individual didn't want to "enable" his "bad behavior".

Or, like this?

Another time Doug decompensated, he threw a Christmas tree out of a second story window and me against a wall. He was arrested when a neighbor called the police. The D.A. told me that serving 5-10 for assault would "hold him accountable for his behavior". No one in that office ever interviewed me or his therapist or his shrink before they decided which charges to work up.

Leaping to conclusions when you're outside of these situations isn't helpful. And it can be actively harmful.
