[QUOTE="witzend, post: 495807, member: 99"] Oh my goodness, what a heart-breaking experience! I hope that your son will be able to see that his problems have overwhelmed him and that he needs help to get on track to a happy life. Residential treatment is not fun or pretty, and I hope that no one will try to sugar-coat it for him. But it is a path towards fun and pretty. I remember when I was much much younger being told that being in-patient would be like a relaxing vacation, and people would take care of me. Well, people did take care of me, but it was most certainly not "like a vacation". I felt betrayed by that and reasonably so, and I left after a few days and didn't seek further help for years. Your son needs to go into it with eyes wide open. It's a place to work on getting better. All of my hopes and prayers are with you and your family in this. [/QUOTE]
