[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 174556"] Seekinghope, my heart goes out to you. I know exactly how you are feeling, my son has had several inpatient hospitalizations in less than 9 months, the longest being in one facility 3 weeks, not being well enough to go home but our insurance ran out - he was home for 2 days while I got him into another where he was for 4 weeks. Currently my son is in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) since 7/1/08 and expected to be there 3-6months. My schedule totally goes by what is going on with him - when I have to be there for counseling, when is treatment team, when am I visiting, and the list goes on. I try to visit my son every other day, fortunately for me (and him) the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is only about 10 minutes from our home and about 25 minutes from my work, so it is feasible to visit this frequently. I have to admit, I enjoy the less chaos at home without him, but I don't think I could ever be "complacent" about his absence from home. I miss him every day. When my daughter and I are doing something I always think he is missing out. I know though that placing him in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is the best thing for him, without it, I truly believe we would have just continued on the roller coaster that was this last year. You have to know you are doing the right thing for your son, that he needs the help. I too feel the black hole thing. Hugs to you, Christy [/QUOTE]
