[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 472489, member: 84"] When I admitted Nichole I seriously worried she'd never get over it. Don't get me wrong, she needed to be admitted in a huge way, it's just........yeah. Cincy's children facilities are pretty darn good. But still, she was grouped together with other teens that most were far worse than she was and she didn't take it well those first days. Add to the fact she'd given birth only a couple of days before...... The staff working with Nichole were great, helped her see why the decision had been made to admit, a decision she'd helped with, why it was important. husband and I were up there with the baby every single day, and when they were allowed the entire family went including her now husband. Her anger was triggered by fear we'd just leave her there. Being there whenever we could helped ease that fear and her to work through the anger it triggered. Which helped her work with staff on ways to gain stability........and got her back on her medications in a controlled environment after 9 months of nothing. His anger is probably fear based at least to some degree. If you and staff could work together to ease his fears......the anger will probably dissipate. At 14 he's old enough for everyone to sit down and explain to him why the admit was necessary and how it can help him once he returns home. Hopefully that will make him more cooperate with staff and make his stay shorter. I know it's hard, but use at least some of the time of his hospital stay to recharge your batteries too.
