[QUOTE="witzend, post: 165398, member: 99"] I'm glad that they are going to try to get his medications right before they send him home. Are they also going to have a post release plan for you all? About the "bad parenting" thoughts. First off, I don't think it's bad parenting in your case. [i]Challenging[/i] parenting, to be sure! ;) But in my mind, for it to be 'bad parenting', that's something that goes on and on with disregard to our children's health and safety. [i]All[/i] parents get to make mistakes. Mistakes are not 'bad parenting.' [i]But[/i], even if it [i]was[/i] bad parenting, bad parenting doesn't happen in a day, and the recovery from it doesn't happen in a day, either. Whatever they find with your son, it's going to be a long row to hoe. Know that you can come here and talk and get advice (and give advice!) as long as you need. Even with 'normal' kids, parents are usually just exchanging one challenge for another. {{{{{{{Big hugs}}}}}}}}} [/QUOTE]
