[QUOTE="Andy, post: 189682, member: 5096"] I am so happy for you! Good things are happening for your family. Like you, when my difficult child was in the psychiatric hospital, I also was determined that it didn't matter what was going on with him - what his "label" was - but that as long as he got the help he needed, we can make it through anything. I worked for an acute behavioral health facility - those people that live their lives chained to their illness. I have seen the worst possible scenarios and was so scared for my difficult child. Then I started seeing that there are people who are able to control their illnesses, who have accepted it and take their medications and follow their doctor's orders. They leave happy lives with families. When people say, "My husband is on that and is doing well" or "I took that at one time." and I know these people. It was very comforting. I know that if anyone can overcome, conquer, learn to live a happy life with severe anxiety, my difficult child can. Our boys are the same age (mine will be 12 on Sept 3rd) and I have a feeling that your difficult child can also overcome, conquer, learn to live a happy life if he puts his mind to it. He has to really want it and be willing to work at it though. We can lead them to it but can't make them accept the responsibility. Your difficult child is so lucky to have you as his mom. You will make sure that he has the tools he needs - let's just pray that he will use them. [/QUOTE]
