[QUOTE="Andy, post: 203304, member: 5096"] You are not a failure - actually, you are a hero. You recognized that this is bigger than what you can handle and are asking for help. I remember those same feelings last October when I left my son at psychiatric hospital and drove 1 hour home to get his belongings (clothes, pillow, ect.). I cried all the way home. I called the church to let the teacher know. Another friend called me and I cried to her. I just couldn't face telling husband and the rest of the family. I just kept telling myself over and over that I could not continue the way it was going. You have two other kids to also take care of (my easy child was 17 so could take care of herself) so your challenge is even bigger than mine. I buried myself in my work. I have a private office and it really was good therapy for me. Today will also be hard but the errands you need to do will help. I am glad the psychiatric hospital called you to let you know he did well last night. Take very good care of yourself. Plenty of sleep, good meals, exercise - you need your strength to take care of all your kids. [/QUOTE]
