[QUOTE="RobinLaurain, post: 49369, member: 3797"] Each State has a recognized family organization that helps families find the help they need. Put in the, "Federation for Families for Children's Mental Health" in your search engine. You can click on the map and it will list the organizations in your State. I do find that CD and related issues are not treated like a mental health illness in Michigan. Therapists seem to think that it isn't a mental illness. I have had several conversations with them over the years. Many times the attitude was that it was all my fault or my ex-husbands. Even if that was so, how does that help us now? I often would say to them, "How is that helpful to my family now?" It felt like that let them off the hook to expect good outcomes for my children. When we stop loving them there is no one else there to do that. That doesn't mean we can't step back and re-group for awhile. We have to or we would lose our sanity. Today is visitation day for my daughter. I do not plan on visiting her, but I am going to drive her best friend there. I need to send a message to her that I will not be sucked in, but I will make sure she is well taken care of in there. She has medical problems and actually passed out in the jail. Her friend is taking Doreen, her medications. Not just a social call or I wouldn't be taking her there. [/QUOTE]
