On our way to the party yesterday, Wizard just floored me.
For those who don't know, we had Wizard put into a psychiatric hospital for 4 months when he was in 6th grade. He was trying to kill his sister and had been very violent with me also.:wildone: He will be entering 12th grade after skipping 1 year academically.
He just commented that he "really needed to go to psychiatric hospital X in order to be able to learn how to handle his anger and wouldn't have been able to learn it outpatient" and then said words to the effect that now he can see that we did it because we love him, NOT because we hated him or wanted him gone.
I made only a light comment, as we were heading into WalMart. I will bring it up later in the week with him.
It means the world to me. He really really was SOO angry with me (husband as well, but me mostly), said he would NEVER forgive me, and really spent a long time trying to deny he needed the psychiatric hospital.
It has been quite a wonderful week with him. But we both agree that having him move back here with us is not the right thing. husband would be fine with having him here, or not.
So, for those who are afraid their kids will hate them or hold grudges for putting them in phosps, at least one difficult child here no longer feels this way!!!!!
