[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 234198, member: 6326"] When my wife was in the hospital I was the censorship between all the family and my wife. Beside our two children, none were allowed to visit her - by her demand. They could text her (I had to shorten the cord on the charger) but not phone her. Of course it affected the children to see her in that condition. My wife has no functioning thyroid and has been medicated for that almost all her life. But she got a blood disease, which went untreated for a very long time. Her dosis regarding the thyroid disease was wrong and she got a light brain damage (memory is lacking) and a depression. All the time we have tried to involve the kids at far as possible. They have been talking to nurses and doctors at the hospital where she was comitted and the other hospital where she received out-patient treatment. The school was informed from day one and while our daughter (the oldest) always has shown as very visible reaction, our son are a chess player showing no reaction. Newertheless we know that he also have things to talk about. When the money was in the system, my daughter attended a group where kids who had parents with mental illness could talk and socialize. It was not really therapy but just a nurse and a pedagogue working with 10-12 teens one 2 hours peer week. The school reported immediately success. Unfortunately the economy are not very good, so this group and the daycare center for the elderlies were shut down. The staff in some of the clubs (sports etc.) was cut in half. So we are back where we started and she doesn't - according to the school or town hall - qualify for single threapy. It is too expensive. There is almost no private sector with therapists we can afford. If she was an at-risk kid commiting crimes, wearing headscarfs (now forbidden in both France and Belgium) or taking drugs, they might consider mandated [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_school"][COLOR=red]continuation school[/COLOR][/URL] (we only have 7 secure juvies for about 200 youths in Denmark, so these schools are used instead). She is however only a girl, who likes to stay at home all time outside school reading books or helping with chores. She has about 2-3 friends in school who she texts or mails. I don't know if anything can be done about it. Some day she might decide to leave home and take an education because she likes art, but mostly her ambition is to work in the local supermarket, which are not that bad. Our family coach suggested a continuation school in order to break their bonds, but she hasn't committed a crime, so why lock her up? I have decided to avoid addressing it for the moment and see if her newearned and infact encouraged party life cannot bring her days of illness to an end. I just wanted to know if it is common.
