[QUOTE="Jen, post: 69242, member: 297"] First of all I like the idea your therapist had. Second , I think the idea of writing the letter for yourself is a great idea, and not nec for Corey to read. If he is anything like my difficult child (and I will post and update on that one later), he isnt ready, he just wants a fast fix. I understand more and more each day everyones expereinces, adn my emotions and feelings when dealing with these circumstances. We want to make it better, we want to fix it, and make it go away. We see it as a simple resolution, that for some reason they never want to take the easy approach. It kills us inside because this is our child, and no matter what we internalize and blame ourselves. I recently spoke with a person that deals in Adolescent psychiatric, and she said, "Jen, you have to give it up and over to the Lord, and you have to learn that you cant take it back into your own hands. You have to trust the Lord, and be patient". I am Christian, but that has always been my problem, I try that approach, and I have been 17 yrs patient with this, and nothing has changed. What made the difference this time was someone actually validating me, and objective point of view saying, " You have done all that you can possibly do, the Lord gives you permission to let go, and to trust him to find help for your son". Wow, it felt great! I hope and pray this helps you and others. Jen [/QUOTE]
