[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 667854, member: 19245"] I forgot to mention a very important point. Hospitals often want to have the parents take their child back home...and thus the responsibility. If you say no, it falls back onto them. They are then responsible for his care. There are several parents going through the same thing in my support groups. They will often keep calling you or try to make you feel like you are bad parents. He needs professional help. I tried to get my son involuntarily committed that day police served my son with a restraining order. He lied and sad he was just depressed and joking about killing me. The police told me later that he did not qualify as being a threat to others or himself or gravely disabled. You are very, very fortunate that your son is in a hispital. He can receive help. Yes, they have to want to get better and stay on medications. But with continued medication and therapy, your son might realize this. We are here for you. Keep posting. I have been a member for just two months. It truly helps! Take care. [/QUOTE]
