[QUOTE="Suz, post: 256445, member: 29"] Each of us has our own regrets and "if only's." Rob went to a dual diagnostic Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for a year and he had the best therapist there ever. She really worked minor miracles. Then he went to a group home for another year and his therapist there "un-did" all of the good the previous therapist accomplished. My then-husband and I were tearing out our hair. After Rob signed himself out of the program (he was almost 19 by then) he had one failure after another. It took him being evicted time after time, being homeless, being fired over and over, being hungry, for him to realize that he needed to pull HIMSELF up by the bootstraps and grow up. Doll, read the archives to this forum. Read the archives to the General forum. In General you will find our histories as we posted when our kids were younger. In the PE archives you will benefit from what we've learned. I think the best thing we've learned over the years is to forgive ourselves...for making mistakes...for making the wrong decision now and then... for being human. Forgive yourself. As the quote in my signature says and what we all quote..."when we knew more, we did better." Suz [/QUOTE]
