[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 46829, member: 696"] RM, I am so sorry for your pain and your hurt. I usually hate this time of year. When I read about all the HS graduates and how they are succeeding it makes me quite sad. I can so relate to you seeing one of your former students who is succeeding albet with disabilities and yours is not. I do understand your questioning yourself and that you have done. I know I constantly think, should I be doing this, am I crippling/enabling, what happens when I'm not here? I don't know whether it is fate or just poor choices (everything seems to be based on choices lately) that some of our difficult child's can advance and others don't. I do know you are a great warrior mom who has fought many battles for your difficult child. This current battle though is being fought by many and in many states. My state has been notorious for housing mental ill inmates with not enough funds to treat them properly. We have had inmates who gouged their eyes out and still were not sent to the State Hospital for treatment. We had a lawsuit recently at the state level. People were sued, resigned, and there have been some changes. $$$ is what is needed to make the changes. Beds have been contracted and those who are mentally unstable are being treated and then will return. I don't know if NAMI or your state attorney's office is a place to start for you. I suppose the MH person who is supposed to call you back is the right place. Sending you some {{{sunny hugs}}} and some cyber strength. My prayers and thoughts are with you. [/QUOTE]
