[QUOTE="Woofens, post: 203570, member: 4425"] Thanks to all. We had our first phone call this evening, one call a day, 10 minutes long. The entire 10 minutes he cried for me to please come get him to take him home, to just come see him, it was horrible. I kept telling him I'd be there tomorrow, but he was insistent that I could have been there tonight if I had wanted to. I did call the psychiatric hospital afterward and ask them to please explain the visitors policy again. I know that tomorrow when I leave after our visit it will be terrible all over again. I [B]KNOW[/B] he needs to be there, but how do I make a 6 YO understand that? He feels that I've deserted him, and with the separation issues we already have, I'm afraid we are making one thing worse to make something else (hopefully) better. The good news is, at first look, my wrist does not seem to be broken. I still have to wait until tomorrow for the official report, but was told that nothing obvious jumped out at the doctor. One minute at a time til I can handle one day at a time, right? Hugs Jan [/QUOTE]
