[QUOTE="DDD, post: 610143, member: 35"] You know what jumped out at me reading your post? How eager parents of difficult children are to seek resolution! Remember the "old days", Tammy, when you and I and others here would jump in the car in the middle of the night and go "save" our difficult children from the dangerous situations THEY willingly placed themselves in? (Just realized, lol, that's lousy grammar!) Many times we placed ourselves in danger in order to get them home and safe. The blood pressure mounted with fear and sometimes it took a few hours after "the crisis" for us to be able to breath again...and stop shaking from panic thinking what "could have been". This post of yours sounds like you have been sucked back into that mode. You know that you can't go pick him up now. You know that you have immediate health needs of your own. You know that HE is focused on HIM. You know that you and your husband can not sacrafice more years of your life for difficult child...BUT you're hoping for a quick answer, a way to know that he is safe, a professional who will assure you that he is not alone. My dear friend, you know that I have no evil intentions, but you need to disconnect the phone NOW. Let go. Let God. He will not "get well" talking with you. You, on the other hand, need to change your focus to you, husband, easy child and contributing to the happiness of your grandchildren. Give your phone to husband or hide it away so you can not see messages or calls. Facing himself is something that difficult child HAS to do and while he is safely in the hospital may be the perfect time for you to take the next step in detachment. I promise my prayers and thoughts remain with you. DDD [/QUOTE]
