[QUOTE="B’smom, post: 750996, member: 23359"] Your home and your rules! It’s so important to speak up when we’re uncomfortable with something, to question the decision and sometimes- not budge when we made a decision. When my son was in his first residential treatment, I argued with the psychologist over Pokémon cards for seven weeks. (I know it’s not the same as medication). The centre gave them to him anyways as rewards and I was adamant that he not get them (he gets obsessive then gets physical over them- suspended from school for hitting a teacher who wouldn’t look at them). They caused issues at the centre as well. Shocking When he returned home, I donated them all. The second residential treatment centre told me they never should have disrespected my rules like that. “My house, my child, my rules”. Doesn’t matter if he’s 12 or 23, it’s your home and you make the rules. Don’t let some therapist tried to bully you into something you are not comfortable with. I know I don’t know you, but i wanted you to know that I’m proud of you for standing your ground. It’s definitely easier said than done. Also yay that your son is seeking support for his own mental health. It’s a great step. [/QUOTE]
