[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 607775, member: 1967"] Yes, I understand the feelings of relief and relaxation once your difficult child is safely in rehab. I don't think most us even realize the stress that we are under until after we know that our loved one is somewhere safe and being taken care of and we can finally breathe. Don't worry about your difficult child being able to manipulate and charm them. They are used to it and see right through it. The other patients farther along in the process are quick to call them on it, too. My difficult child is the best of the best at it but the counselors and therapists saw the manipulation immediately. In fact, they would call things to my attention that my difficult child was doing when I didn't even realize that I was being manipulated. I know it is impossible not to worry but remind yourself that this place was recommended by mental health experts. You've done your job in finding him the right treatment center . . . . now let them do theirs. {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
