[QUOTE="Baffled, post: 146468, member: 5045"] You're her mom and I think you know what's best for her. I agree-support her. Withdraw as she matures and does better. I've been told the same things about my son. Our mothering instincts kick in when we see our children in need. My son was also in a psychiatric hospital when he was 9. He is growing and maturing and learning coping skills. Boy is he learning from natural consequences now, too! I can tell you stories! But I don't regret giving him structure and support then or now. Try not to beat yourself up over their comments. Unfortunately, I haven't quite learned to do that well yet. Sometimes I suffer for days after some of their comments. But they truly do not know. Just the other day, my psychiatrist told me that I didn't realize how serious the situation with my son was. The truth was out of the four years she's been seeing him, she only just realized it in December when he pulled a stunt. I realized it 4 years ago when I made that first appointment with her! We go to a new psychiatrist next week. [/QUOTE]
