[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 697902, member: 17269"] I just want to say, I think you did the right thing here. I think you have done the right thing, the best any of us could, all along. And you are doing the right thing by joining us here. Because what RE says is so true. You must, you may, you can, take care of yourself. Especially now with your lovely troubled boy in the hospital. I remember when my son was in the psychiatric ward for the first or second of many times...my boyfriend at the time, now my long time signicant other, said "I know this is hard to believe, but now is the time for you to relax and rest and take care of yourself. He is being taken care of by other people now. He is safe." I was like WHAAAT??? MY BABY IS IN THE CRAZY HOUSE!!! HOW CAN I RELAX? but now I know that he is right. My baby went from many episodes in the crazy house to many episodes in jail, and you know what? that is when I can relax, rest my mind, go for a run without wondering if that guy sleeping on the flattened cardboard box up ahead is my son, if that late night phone call is the hospital or the police. Those thoughts and worries are for another time. For now, he is being taken care of and you can really focus on building your own strength and resilience and beauty and power back. You have a lot on your plate. So does he. I think you have the will to come out the other side of this. Stay with us. We will walk with you on this journey. Echo [/QUOTE]
