Fucking shit.
A bit of an update. Rayne has been on Prozac for a couple of months and it has helped. She's still going back and forth on the gender spectrum and we haven't made the jump to switching names and pronouns. She's still shaving, has a boyfriend, etc. I think she's still figuring out who she is.
Last night, though, she took 4 Prozac and then immediately came and told me. I took her into the ER and they gave her some activated charcoal and sent her by ambulance to the hospital in the next town over (there's an RN or paramedic on site here at night but no doctor). It really wasn't a dangerous dose and I wonder if some of these precautions were for impact. It was not a pleasant experience for her.
I switched off with dh and he followed the ambulance. The mental health clinic where she gets services is involved and they're liaising with the hospital this morning. No word yet on whether or not she'll be admitted, and if so, for how long.
It was obviously not a serious attempt, or she was able to stop it before it became one. But please kill some chickens for us, ok? She's 13 and my baby, goddammit. This sucks.

She's been discharged and we're on our way home. A therapist from mental health was in and she and Rayne created an action plan. There's a team meeting with Rayne's psychiatrist and regular therapist tomorrow morning, and then Rayne has an appointment with her therapist tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully we'll get in to see the psychiatrist again soon.

I'll buck the trend, I don't think her kids are all that in the cute department. not all kids are cute. they have other attributes that make up for that, but look at tweedle's aiden, that is a cute kid. and your kids mel, those are adorable kids. Her's are average. I wouldn't take a second look passing her on the street.

Petition the White House to Adopt the Chartreuse Awareness Ribbon for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse.
"While there are many colors for various causes, (for example, Child Abuse and Autism both share the same color ribbon) there is no nationally recognized ribbon in chartreuse. Child sexual abuse affects so many children and yet prevention organizations struggle to receive the funding they need to raise awareness and educate people on all the simple ways we can empower our children, families, and communities against abuse."

An amazing charity
Please remind your children what to do if their clothing catches fire. It could save their life.

I'm just catching this now. I'm so glad she was comfortable enough to come directly to you. How are things going?
Opinions are like orgasms. Mine matters most and I could care less if you have one.
