[QUOTE="Star*, post: 417225, member: 4964"] You know - You can ask for the first 5 - 15 minutes of Leo's therapy for a recap with you and Dr.W to ask questions YOU have so that you can keep the lines of communication open with Leo. If you are unsure of what is right, good, appropriate so that you can have effective and good communication - write down your questions and ask Dr. W for 5 minutes ALONE - then let the rest of the time be with him and Leo. I used to worry that things I would think were appropriate or right would set my sons progress back - so before I acted too quickly on my feelings I asked. It saved a LOT of problems and heartache. We lost a son, and our youngest went into a really bad depression. I had individual therapy but on the days my son came the psychiatrist suggested this to me in case there were things I felt I had questions over. It helped a lot. Oh and the door and room? Soundproof. The psychiatrist had a way of explaining to our son that somethings for parents and adults weren't for teens ears. He seemed to be okay with it too. Don't feel you have to keep walking around on eggshells either. Life goes on. You're an awesome Mom who took immediate action with keen insight and saved your sons life. Someday he'll forgive you - who knows what's in a teenagers mind, and it's probable he's embarassed with himself and angry with you right now. SO WHAT? I'd rather have my son angry with me and alive and able to forgive me later - that I could deal with. Hang in there - Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
