[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 279305, member: 5941"] Can't think of anything to add to Star's beautiful message. My son occasionally starts in with me about his last placement, six wks. in a diagnostic program so he could detox and get a thorough diagnosis. "How could you send me away..." that kind of thing...occasionally he'll mention that this or that social worker thinks we overreacted. I let it roll off my back, one of the few things I am able to not second guess myself. My only regret is that I didn't insist he stay longer. I have a friend whose 20 yr old son still tortures her with complaints about being committed at age 13 to a psychiatric hospital when he flipped out on Prozac (psychiatrist didn't fully appreciate that he was bipolar, and he came after mom and dad with a fireplace poker). It was a traumatic event that was no one's fault, unlessyou want to blame the doctor for misdiagnosing. Problem is, she still feels guilty. I don't. You did the best you knew how. Just wait til these kids are parents themselves. [/QUOTE]
