[QUOTE="jcox, post: 307862, member: 6583"] (((((HUGS))))) This past February we had to put my son E who was then 6 in the psychiatric hospital for the first time. It was the hardest, but best thing I have ever done for him. If only I could have imagined the days to come I would have done it sooner. I worried so much about him everyday. Would he be mad at me? Would he ever forgive me for putting him there? Would they comfort him when he was upset? Would they help him with his personal care? He was okay. He did not hate me. They did comfort and help him. He even learned new self help skills that I did not know he was capable of. Children are stronger and smarter than we think. Somewhere inside he realized that they helped him feel better. His brain was sick and he knew that. He stayed for 15 days. The first week was the hardest for me. Then I began to take that time, knowing he was safe to relax, spend time with the other kids, recoup for when he came home. Since his release he has been like another child that was stuck inside my son and is finally able to come out. They were able to change his medications much quicker than on the oustide.
