[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 639437, member: 17461"] I am sorry, lucedaleblessed. We had one child we found treatment after treatment center for, some of the treatments months long. She made bad friends, learned terrible things. We had one child (a son) we did the opposite for. No treatment, kept him, other than family therapy, far away from any of that. With him, we used tough love. It was a new theory, back then. There were books written about the glowing success of it and blah, blah. That backfired, too. The only thing we didn't do was military school or a boy's camp somewhere. So, for years and years, we sort of beat ourselves up for not doing that. And then? One of the moms here came to us, posting about her guilt for having placed her son in just such a place! (And I do remember that it was you, Echo.) There is no answer about why these terrible things have happened to us, and to our children. Forgive yourself, lucedaleblessed. Make an intention to forgive yourself. If you can do it, love your child and your husband and yourself and believe for the best, for the very best. Cedar [/QUOTE]
