[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 618195, member: 1233"] Hey Lady, It sounds like this might be a good place for him. Let him be mad all he wants. Friends worry about if you are mad at them. Moms do what is best for you and know that you will get over it when you get your head attached properly again, Know what I mean?? Telling the doctor the entire history is the ONLY way that Youngest is ever going to get the right help. He is way too close to you to cut you off for too long. I am proud that you did not rush home to 'fix' him again, but instead you let him work it out. You did good. I hope that he will accept the help from the hospital. The state hospital that Wiz was in as far less pretty than the fancy short term one, but hte nurses at least 'got it' at the state hospital. The docs and nurses at the private hospital truly believed that if husband and I spent an hour a day with just Wiz then all of the problems would be fixed. Ever try to make a 13 or 14 yo spend an hour a day alone with one parent, interacting? Much less try to do this twice, once with each parent? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! That is a funny thought, and an impossible task that fixes NOTHING, esp if the child wants to spend zero time with parents! But the private hospital staff truly thought it would 'fix' Wiz' problems. The state hospital didn't address all the problems, but at least they knew that, and didn't offer ridiculous bandaid solutions that were impossible. I know a number of people here who needed real help and didn't get it until they ended up in a state hospital after the private hosps used up their private insurance and medicaid was all that was left.
