[QUOTE="UpandDown, post: 682027, member: 19025"] Rn, I am thinking of you and your family as your son transitions to outpatient. I remember clearly when my husband took our son to a 3 month intensive program that was a 6 hour drive away. I had to have his dad handle the entire trip. I was such a wreck, I would not have been able to carry through and get him there. Even though I knew it was needed, I felt as if my heart was ripped in two. I gave myself permission during that time to be kind to myself and read lots of books on setting boundaries and teens/young adults who struggle. I also made sure I took a long walk way out in the country every single day. Something about being outside allowed me to get my mind off him even if for a short time. I hope you can find some time for yourself and stay strong. [/QUOTE]
