[QUOTE="bran155, post: 236050"] You being upset over being dismissed by the doctor is NOT stupid. When you are feeling so down you become more sensitive. Things tend to sting a lot more. When I was depressed anyone and anything could hurt my feelings. I was crying over everything!!! I took everything personally. If the wind blew the wrong way I was crying!!! Spilled milk was a catastrophic event. It is just part of your depression. I know that you are worried about your son. Don't read too much into what another member of this board has said about the abuse. My daughter has been in 3 rtcs and I was worried all of the time just like you. She would tell me horror stories and I would go up there and make a complete fool of myself. I later found out that what she said was just an exaggeration of what really was happening. While there is a risk of abuse in these kinds of facilities, it is not as common as some might think. These places are closely monitored. Your son is where he needs to be right now. He is safe. He is getting the help he needs. You would be more worried if he was out and about in the streets. An Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is definitley the lesser of two evils. He is getting treatment and cannot get into any further trouble. My suggestion to you would be to NOT read any more of the posts written by the member who is making you sick with worry!!!! Like you said, she has no first hand experience. Hang in there. The sun will shine for you again, I promise!!!! :) [/QUOTE]
