[QUOTE="Star*, post: 364168, member: 4964"] Witz, You know, you are a remarkable Mom!! To be able to speak so clearly and factually to your son when such a crisis is going on certainly speaks to your strength and abilities to put your son's needs first. I'm in awe by the grace with which you handled the situation despite how I know you were feeling inside. On a side note? The fact that M had checked himself IN to someplace to get help is an enormous, and quite mature step. Honestly I don't know but few people that have ever gone into an institution like he's in and said "Wow am I glad I'm here, I'd like to stay now - crisis is over but this place is wonderful." So again, the fact that he is cognitive that he wants out? Another good sign. Making him stay? Not going to happen. Someone convincing him that he is doing the right thing for HIMSELF BY STAYING? Whole other story - and quite honestly it's not a Mother's responsibility. There are professional people there who should be able to say something that clicks for him. I am really so very sad for you, because I've been here many times with family, and despite doing it over and over it NEVER gets easier. I can only tell you at this point that I'm praying for you and your family (as always) and will ask that a few extra angels to to your M. Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
