[QUOTE="Andy, post: 189221, member: 5096"] Terry, How are you doing this morning? My difficult child's psychiatric hospital was also an hour away. I had not planned the admit that day so came home to pack a bag for him after he was admitted. I packed a bag for myself also and stayed in the town he was at. I think it would have been so hard to be at home that 1st night. I stayed at a hotel in the town every night, got up early every morning, drove home and worked almost full days and drove back every evening for visitation. About one week into the stay, my difficult child told me that he was sorry that I was missing out on watching him grow up. He felt confidence in the coping skills that he was learning. I hope your difficult child is as open to mine was to learn what the psychiatric hospital has to offer. My difficult child told me he cried the first night and asked me if I also cried. When I said "yes" it was weird how he seemed to draw strength from that. Hugs to you as you are going through this. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
