[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 238520, member: 6546"] O you are SO right! The night our difficult child was admitted to psychiatric hospital--I think I just went numb with emotional exhaustion. She had been SO scary, so diffcult to deal with, I needed her to be admitted to get help--but I also felt like I had "abandoned my post" as a mother, and that by letting my child be locked away in a room with locks, and bars, and guards that I was committing the worst form of child abandonment and abuse. Ropefree--My worst guilt, is something that you actually touched on in response to my thread about taping difficult child with surveillance cameras. You wrote about how we had not been adequately protecting DS from his older sister...and THAT, truthfully, has been one of my biggest sources of guilt all these years. That I am not providing a good life for my son because of all of the focus that is placed on difficult child. And that I will end up "ruining" another one of my children.... I'm sorry....I have started to cry as I am typing this....I just don't know at else to say right now [/QUOTE]
