[QUOTE="MrsMcNear46, post: 274618, member: 3234"] Thank you so much my dear sweet board friends. Just as in the past, your encouragement, kindness and wonderful advice is helping me get thru this. When I was so distressed the other nite and didn't know what to do, or who to ask, my first thoughts were of you all. Thank you and again for you replies. The weekend pretty much was uneventful. I guess Betsys boss gave her another shot because she called me from work today...for this I am greatful. She has got to keep her job. Said she was going to sign up with the Housing Authority on Wed. in hopes of getting a reduced rent....said she needed at least 2 bedrooms so Lincoln could have his own room......I wanted to ask,"What happened to I'm done taking care of Lincoln?" but s held my tounge. She still sounds alittle manic in my opinion, but better than the crazy talk of Friday nite. She is into pysics and philosiphy these days...has some pretty crazy ideas about things and sometimes when she talks, I wonder if she's on another planet... Anyway, Star, are you sure you don't know this kid personally? You really hit the nail on the head all the way. Reverting back to the old ways of coping....I did mention this to her last week...like returning to an old friend, and of course I was called crazy, but that's exactly what she is doing. And yes, she is overwhelmed, kids and jobs do that to you, and I offer to help whenever I can, but it is difficult. Fran, I do think she needs to be on a mood stabilizer of some sort. When she melted down in March, she sobbed continually for 3 days...called me for help, and said she just couldn't deal with it all. I think they knew at the treatment center that she wouldn't be long term and really didn't help at all. She didn't even talk to a Dr.. until she wanted to be discharged. This was one of the so called best facilities in the St. Louis area and Betsy left there feeling like other than being drugged, what help was there for her. For now I'll take the only action I can and I will pray. I have really changed alot from the old days guys. Still very much concerned, but graduated from detachment school, and no longer rescue her. Lincolns other grandma and I will make sure Lincoln is well taken care of regardless. Let me tell you, he is the joy of my life and sure doesn't deserve to be in the middle of all of this. I will keep you posted and thanks again. Love, Julie [/QUOTE]
