[QUOTE="Woofens, post: 203296, member: 4425"] Took my difficult child to the ER in the same hospital as the pediatrician.psychiatric hospital yesterday afternoon. We got there around 2 PM. 9:30 last night, I walked out of the hospital with my SO, but without difficult child. SO was afraid to let me drive home, I was so upset, but I did, I have to have my car to take the easy child's to the bus stop and stuff. I got it back together to drive home, and fell apart again once we were home. Walking away from my 6 YO, the baby of the family, while he begged me not to leave him was the hardest thing I have ever done. I know that he is in the best place he can be right now, but I feel like such a failure as a mom, that I have let him down, that there had to be something more that I could have done. The nurse called us after we got home to let us know that he settled down, got his shower and went to bed and right to sleep after we left, so that helped. SO supports my decision to have him admitted, totally, but he is so confused by his behavior, he is just lost. He is 11 years older than me, raised his 2 kids alone, and never experienced anything or anyone like my difficult child before. I have a ton of stuff to do today, I have to get his school work for the next week, call his therapist and the psychiatrist he was scheduled to see Thursday, still have to get my wrist XRays taken and at 10 AM I have the first meeting with the case manager here at home. I need to take some more clothes down to difficult child, SO took a few things this AM, but he needs more PJ's socks and undies. Sigh. What a horrible 36 hours we have had. Thanks to everyone for all your support so far... and all your help and advice. Hugs Jan [/QUOTE]
