[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 315323, member: 3184"] Steely, I don't usually post on pe as my difficult child is very young, but I don't think you failed Matt. There is a quote by Maya Angelou (forgive me if I mispelled her name) and it goes something like I did the best I knew, and when I knew better I did better. I think this applies to the way we treat and obtain treatment for our difficult child's. You did nothing purposeful to hinder Matt, you did what you thought best at the time. He is making his own choices now, and as far as I am concerned they do not reflect you. If there was any way you could make Matt not mentally ill you would do it. Any of us would do that for our kids or so's, but it is not possible. Oh how I wish it was. I can only imagine the heartache you and others have experienced due to your difficult child's, and mostly the reason I can is due to husband and not difficult child yet as he is only 12 and I don't, I cannot bear to think about difficult child in some of these situations it is just too much. I see no reason I should. Steely, all I can do is offer you a cyber shoulder to lean on and tell you that I have kept up with your and Matt's story and in my humble opinion you have done the best you can. No one can ask more of you, and if they do you tell me. I will go take out all the frustrations from the last month on them, and I have had more frustrations in the last month than in the last few years. [/QUOTE]
