[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 742327, member: 23349"] Of course, this was N’s path too. But that was something society forced on him, not me as a mother. I don’t think it would have worked if it were me doing the forcing. He would have me to blame, and it would have broken the trust between us. As parents we are in a tough spot. The last time I forced one of mine into an emergency hold situation it was S, at 19. It did not good in the long term. There were no available follow up services. No beds available in long term facilities even if she had been willing to go. Minimum 6 month waiting period, and she had to be willing to do it. Private facilities are completely out of my reach financially and I don’t think anything is going to effective anyway if they don’t have some desire to change. I don’t think love is ever wasted. Love is valuable for its own sake. Sadly love alone is not always sufficient to get the results we hope for. Completelydrained, this is beautiful. I know what you mean. The years when my children were young were not easy ones for me. But I do miss the innocent times and the hope i had for all of them. I’m glad you have such cherished memories. I’m not sure I’d call this my favorite super bowl but I will be closely watching the results with you! [/QUOTE]
