[QUOTE="DDD, post: 258452, member: 35"] Like many here I know how heartbreaking it is to have an empty bed where your kid is suppose to be. Many of us spent hours crying like babies when our young teens were gone...some in hospitals, some in RTCs, some in Department of Juvenile Justice. So long as they are safe, it doesn't really matter much where they are because they are not at home where they should be. You need to detach as much as possible. Did you commit the act that resulted in his out of home placement? Nope. Did you hope that he would make choices that resulted in him being gone? Nope. Would being with you make him "get" that his choices have consequences [B]for him[/B]? Nope. I've been part of the CD family for years and I have never known one parent here who didn't wish they could make things better. Often our difficult children have to learn from others what is expected for getting along in life. All of us do our best. Fall back and regroup your life. Support his growth in his life. It's not easy but it is the best way. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
