[QUOTE="Fran, post: 358752, member: 3"] been there done that. It was one of the lowest points in my adult life. I couldn't stand the pain that comes with knowing you somehow failed your child. Add that you are leaving him in a locked ward magnifies it even worse. I had the added worry that what would it mean if it was known that my son was in a "mental" institution? I guess it's the failure plus the fear of the unknown that hits us so hard. I kept repeating to myself that this is a good thing. He isn't there to be punished, he was there to be helped. I hope that you start to see progress. It's the start of a more intense intervention for your child that may make the difference between an independent functioning, law abiding adult and a "car wreck". Find the positive and know that good mom's do whatever they can to help their child. What anyone else thinks is a far second. Hang in there. You aren't alone. It is much more traumatic for you than difficult child. [/QUOTE]
