[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 133105, member: 3647"] What a refreshing post, David! Justin will have to grieve his mother, as though it were a death. He is grieving the mother he SHOULD have had, the mother he DESERVED to have. The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) will begin him on his way, and you will continue with him once he gets out. Big ups on using the beads as a tangible thing to get Justin to advance in his levels. That is just great. As far as your insomnia goes, ho boy. Quitting ANY chemical (or altering it) can change your body's natural rhythm. Do you smoke? Drink coffee? If you do, try not to indulge for at least 3-4 hours prior to bedtime. I'm assuming you are still not drinking? Careful; Ambien can be very addictive. I'd steer clear of any narcotics. You may consider Melatonin. It is natural (my 7 year old takes it!). It works for some, not for others. Otherwise, the old standbys - Breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth, CDs with soothing nature sounds, relaxation exercises... You most certainly do have an amazing son. He has an amazing father. [/QUOTE]
