Yes, he may not be up to the adivse of the board members. When I came here, Sweet Betsy was 12. I was at my wits end and didn't really know what to do next. At first it was hard to hear the "real truth" from those who had been there done that. I could NEVER put my child in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), I wasn't that kind of mother. Within a year she was 400 miles away in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for a year.
Everyone, espicially the "old timers" helped me tremendously.
But it was Fran who took the firm stand with me, in her motherly sort of way. She made me realize that this was not about ME and I would survive the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) year if I truly wanted what was best for Betsy. Her words really turned my life around and I still consider her advice some of the best I've received in my life.
All of you helped me so much. I had beat on every door known to man trying to get help for my daughter. But no one ever gave me a clue how I was to survive thru it all. You guys did. I realized I wasn't doing my best for Betsy, since I was floundering so much myself. You guys helped me change that.
I think I will always be around. I too check in everyday to see how things are going and although I don't always post, I pray for everyone here on a daily basis...My Board Family.
Hope everyone has a wonderful, meltdown free weekend.
Blessings to you All,
Julie
