[QUOTE="Karenvm, post: 581583, member: 15766"] Thank you. I did speak to two staff members the next morning, one being his therapist. They really did make me feel so much better. The one thing about this place that I love is the staff. I am in the medical field, and I can sense that these people REALLY want to be there, most have worked there for ten years plus. That says a lot. His therapist told me that he is really participating in group therapy, and feels he is doing well. I then spoke to difficult child the next night, the conversation was MUCH better... Not all the "doom and gloom". I reiterated to my son that I take his concerns seriously, but he has to remember that he is not at a resort... These kids are all there because they need treatment, just like him. I am very happy about his diagnosis of bipolar- it makes so much sense now! He has never really been treated for it before, and now he is. I am very hopeful! thank you for the support. It means a lot! It is hard to remain "calm" sometimes...I worry about so many things! Are we doing the right thing, will he hate us forever, do I really want him home right now, before he has gotten enough treatment, etc. I just take it day by day, and try to keep everything in perspective! p [/QUOTE]
