[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 189949, member: 1233"] Welcome!! I remember the feelings when I stumbled on to this site. Everyone here is so supportive - and will also give a loving kick to the hiney when I am totally off course, LOL!! My oldest (Wiz - now age 16) was in the psychiatric hospital for 4 months at age 12. Few stays are of this length. It was a rough time, esp as things he had done came out, but it was also a time of great healing. It can be tough but also a relief to have your child where he will be safe and cared for. You can spend some time with the other kids just focusing on them. It would be great if you could do a signature like I have at the bottom of this message. You go to the User CP and navigate through it to make your sig. We encourage you to use initials or nicknames for your kids. We also don't want pics of the kids on the site.
