What a crazy day/ I'm proud of my son

Tweet

I have had quite the day today. Started off in chaos at work. I was dealing with something left and right. When we finally got home, it was another crisis. I have been so busy this past month that my mind can't seem to focus on much. My son informed me tonight that his friend, who wasn't at school today, had told him he had attempted suicide the night before. My son was trying to remain calm and figure out a way to help his friend. He called the suicide hotline to try and get advice on how to help since we didn't have his friend's parents' names or numbers. My son was messaging his friend on Discord, so we didn't even have the friend's number. The friend had recently moved here from Texas, so there would have been no way to find the family's address publicly yet. My son was adamant that he wanted to do all of the work because it is his friend. He messaged all of his teachers via their school emails, and I was messaging people I knew to see if they knew anyone at the high school who could possibly get in contact with someone who could get in contact with the kid's parents. I found someone who did have contacts but then they were like, "Hey, your sister is the school resource officer and could probably help," and I was like, "Oh my gosh, I'm an idiot." My mind never went to my sister. Not once. I was so desperate to help this kid that my mind just didn't think of my sister as a police officer. I just thought "sister". When my mind is everywhere, I seldom think of the most obvious solution. Thankfully, my son heard back from a teacher and then a principal. The principal had gotten in contact with the father, and the father said he was OK. My sister then messaged, and she called someone to do a wellness check on him too, which is ultimately what made my son feel a lot better. The friend is feeling a lot better mentally now, and so is my son, who was freaking out. My son kept getting irritated with me because I kept telling him I couldn't find him a certain way because the kid has an incredibly common first and last name. I was trying to help in every way I could think of, but apparently my brain was not working right, so I wasn't much help anyway. We managed to get his friend help within less than an hour of my son finding out. My son's friend was also not upset with my son for sending help. I told my son he did the right thing, and I was proud of him. He went above and beyond trying to get his friend help with the limited resources available. The issue with school emails and phone numbers is that they usually aren't checked on weekends, so we were extremely lucky that people were checking them. My son's friend was probably blasted with help after that, but he clearly was reaching out for help and the fact that my son found a way to help him makes me extremely proud of him. His friend didn't have the courage to find help for himself, so my son did it for him. My son was in his shoes less than a year ago and was strong enough to reach out for help, and he knows how his friend is feeling on some level because of his own experience. My husband and I made sure he knew how proud we were of him. It takes courage to go above and beyond to help a friend in the way he did. He wouldn't even let me make the messages or calls for him. He was adamant that he wanted it to be him because it was his friend and he knew the information. I'm sure my son will have more to do Monday involving everything. I know he had to message more details to the principal and my sister afterward so they could take the right steps to help his friend.
