That's all
they were waiting for.
Woman:
Okay, first,close your eyes and take
a couple deep breaths...
while I get
(clatters)
So throughout
this whole thing,
don't forget
to breathe, okay?
(inhales sharply)
Clench your fists.
Real tight!
(exhales)
And hold it
for 10 seconds.
Nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four,
three, two, one.
Tense the muscles
around your forehead
by raising your eyebrows
as far as you can.
Just like that.
And hold it.
Hold it right there,
real tight.
Don't forget to breath.
10, nine, eight--
Thomas:
The problemthat we face most of all
is that we're still in love
with the magic bullet.
We still think
there's gonna be a pill
or there's gonna be
a psychotherapy
or there's gonna
be a critical insight.
If somebody says
the right thing
to the right person
at the right time,
they're gonna be well.
That works great
in Hollywood.
Doesn't actually work
that well in real life.
These are
really complicated problems.
It takes time,
but it also takes
a lot of different
converging kinds
of interventions,
and that could include
medicine, education,
skill building, what we call
cognitive retraining.
That's what you
need for recovery.
It's not going to be simple.
Ethan (on phone): Hello?
Stacy (on phone):
Hi, Ethan.
Ethan:
Mom?Stacy:
Hi, Baby.I miss you.
Ethan:
Hey, Mom.
How is your day going?
Stacy:
It's going good.
How's your day going?
Ethan:
Oh, my day...
Some parts were bad,
and some parts were good.
Stacy:
Are you working
on your behaviors?
(man speaks
indistinctly)
Ethan:
Some parts, yeah.
Stacy:
Do you thinkyou're, like, learning
to try to not get so angry
or control that
a little bit more?
Ethan:
Well, kind of.
May I say hi to Elexa?
Stacy:
Oh, honey, you could
say hi to Elexa,
but Elexa's
outside playing.
Okay, well,
I love you, baby. Mwah!
Ethan:
Mwah!
Bye, Mom. I love you.
Stacy:
Bye, baby.I love you too.
Hey, why don't you tell me
how your therapy's going
with Wendy.
What do you mean?
Good.
I haven't really talked
to you about it.
So, what do you
like about her?
She's nice.
That's good.
What do you guys do?
Play a board game.
You play board games?
And we talk.
What do you talk about?
My diary, Mommy.
I can't tell you.
No. Okay, when I said
that she's like your diary,
I meant
that she can't tell me
what you talk about.
That doesn't mean
you can't tell me
if you wanted to tell me.
I can't tell you
what I said to her.
Well, you can tell me
if you want to tell me.
Well, I don't want
to tell you.
Nothing? Not anything?
Do you feel
like you cannot talk
to me about stuff?
Yeah.
Why?
Because you always
No, I don't.
Mm-hmm.
What I mean is...
I hope you don't feel
you can't tell me things,
'cause you can.
I do.
Can you explain
to me why you...
want to take medicine
and think it's so cool?
'Cause everyone else does.
Who's everyone?
All my friends.
Ethan takes medicine
every day because it
helps him calm down.
Then can I do that?
No, because you don't need
that kind of help.
Well, I can't
calm down sometimes.
Yeah, all people get
angry and sad and hyper.
Mad.
And mad.
Well, that's angry.
Because of their mother?
I'm kidding.
(giggles)
It kind of feels like
they favor him over me.
But I know that they kind
of have to...
put a lot of time and effort
into dealing with him.
Sometimes, like,
I would want them to, like--
I would-- for example,
like, show them...
something I did at school,
like homework
or a project or something,
but it... kind of would be
like they were always busy,
had something with William,
busy with William,
just always something
with him. Always.
Edie:
I think she needs
a lot more attention
than a typical person her age.
It's really important
that we give it to her,
or it's really upsetting
to her, you know?
Like, "Watch me do this,
and watch me do that."
And he gets special treatment.
You know,
he doesn't get grounded
like she gets grounded.
The rules are different,
and I think that's the one
thing she resents,
is that the rules
are different for him
than they are her,
and they have to be.
Stacy:
"Answer."
Elexa:
A-N-S-W-E-R.
"State."
Elexa:
S-T-A-T-E.
"Several."
Elexa:
I know this one.
S-E-V-E-R-A-L.
and I'm kind of worried
that he's gonna...
be bad still.
Like... he's gonna yell
and stuff and hit me.
(sighs)
I did get the door replaced.
It was broke...
hole on the side,
and I did fix the hole
in the wall that he made,
so he had punched
a hole in the wall,
and I did get that fixed.
So, yeah, I tried
to make it look nice
and clean and new again
as much as I could for him
when he came home,
and I hope that he doesn't
re-destroy anything
after all the work
I've put in and the money
I'm spending, but...
you know,
I wanted him
to, hopefully--
I wanted to have
kind of a fresh start
and a clean start--
a clean slate
so to speak, so.
This is really sad.
Now that I have
to fold all these clothes,
I can absolutely see,
how much weight I've put on.
I don't think any
of these fit me anymore.
I think it was...
the feeling of... you know,
having six months
of thinking you needed
off your bucket list.
To like feel like that
because your son
is away from home
is something else.
Ethan:
I'm going home today.
(rock music plays)
I've heard
this song before.
(laughs)
Yeah, turn it up, please.
Turn it up?
A little bit, okay?
Yes, I like this song.
Do you?
I miss this song.
(laughs)
(vocalizing music)
Baby, baby,
ooh, baby, baby
(laughs)
Ooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby,
b-b-baby, baby
Can you do this?
Oh! (vocalizes music)
(laughs)
Make a film
Hi.
Hey.
Stacy:
Your hair's all wet.
Yeah, I spiked it.
Can I have a hug?
Someone spiked it for me.
Do I get a hug? Hi.
Yeah.
Are you okay?
No, I'm okay. I'm...
I thought you'd be
excited to be home.
No, no, I am.
Stacy:
Can you read
that for me?
(paper rustles)
"Home expectations.
"I will listen to adults.
"I will respect everyone
and their property,
"and will not take things
without asking permission.
"I will always be safe.
I will keep my hands
to myself.
"I will use my inside voice.
When I get upset,
I will ask for a break."
Stacy:
I need you to try
and your coping skills.
Are you looking at me?
Can I have a kiss?
I missed you.
Can you believe
you're home?
Are you staying overnight?
Mm-hmm!
I'm staying forever.
(laughs)
I hope so.
My God, how much gel
did you use? The bottle?
(bird chirping)
Edie:
William's been home
about two months,
and at the beginning
he was doing great,
and he was happy and...
really controlling
his behavior.
We had some
set up structure
