[QUOTE="Steely, post: 222953, member: 3301"] I have a friend that has a daughter who is 18 and has thyroid cancer. For some odd reason, I found myself envying him today - because there are doctors there that have answers, and "cures", and he has a boatload of cards, and sympathy, and support from his friends. As horrible as what he is going through is, there are many times, I would rather my kid have a physical illness. It seems more tangible, more clear cut, and since it is more within our societal norm, others know what to say, do, or how to respond. I did reach my breaking point about 4 months ago, and for the first time called the cops. I just snapped when he snapped. Now he is on his own in ID in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He had one of his "fits" 3 weeks ago in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and they called the cops on him and put him on a 72 hour hold, and then he was in phosph for 10 more days. For once me, mom, was not there to rescue. I think it may have been his biggest reality check in his life. Now he is back at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and dealing with the reprecussions of alientating his friends by his "fit". It is still hard not to rescue, fix, change, control his atmosphere to make this all more bareable for him. However, I do now have the resolve to do it. Regardless, it would be nice for those wild horses inside of me to want to stop running. [/QUOTE]
