[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 538509, member: 11832"] Carol, Welcome to our little corner of cyberspace. We do understand. My son began talking of suicide around age 10. We found a good therapist and he's been seeing him ever since. In the interim, my husband and his father became psychotic. I had him forcibly committed twice and once he went on his own. I felt terrible that my husband was in the hospital but I also knew he needed to be there. So does your daughter. Of course you miss her. But please use this time to be good to yourself. When she is released, you will have to return to extra-vigilant mode and that is so draining. Yes, she will exposed to ideas and mental illness in the hospital. My kids were exposed to their own father's descent into madness. It wasn't what I would have chosen for them, but it couldn't be prevented. Try not to drive yourself batty with the WHYs or causes of your daughters illness. Personally, I believe there are a number of factors. When someone needs psychiatric care it doesn't much matter why they do. The important thing is doing what you can to provide them with that care. You are doing that for your daughter. Spend some special time with your younger daughter while others are caring for her sister. Take good care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
