00:01Give it up for Timothy Spencer!
00:10So Tim, do you have any idea why mommy brought you here to talk to me today?
00:15Sometimes I get kind of worried.
00:18Oh, sweetheart.
00:20Are you okay?
00:25How did I not know that kids could have anxiety?
00:28Can you describe what it looks like when Tim gets upset?
00:31His eyes change, like he becomes a different person.
00:34You made me forget what I was writing!
00:36You ruined it!
00:37Sometimes he can get violent.
00:38I hate you, you ruined everything!
00:40Why do I always take his side?
00:42Timothy has an illness.
00:43No, Tim!
00:44Get out of me!
00:45I will kill all of you!
00:47Tim!
00:48I'm not sending my son away.
00:50We'll start him on a very small dose at first.
00:53What he needs are parents who know how to handle it.
00:56Why didn't you try harder?
00:57He's not getting better.
01:00You just wanna get rid of me!
01:01No, Tim!
01:02That's all!
01:03Stop!
01:04You hate me!
01:05I feel so guilty!
01:06Stop!
01:09I'm sorry for everything!
01:10Please, mommy!
01:13You sound angry.
01:14I don't belong here.
01:15You know, being here will help you, if you let it.
01:17Out here in the woods, it's kind of...awesome.
01:20No one knows him like I do, and I am the one who's supposed to help him.
01:27If this was your son, what would you do?
01:30You know what's going to be doing?
01:32You know, I'm the one who's supposed to help you.
01:33You know what I'm supposed to do?
01:35You know...
01:36You know, I have been here, and I was the one who's supposed to help you.
01:37You know, I was the one who used to help me, and I was the one who's supposed to help you.
01:38But despite this, it was your son.
