[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 464705, member: 1233"] I am sorry there are so many stressful things all at the same time. Sending lots of hugs and support to you. I don't know much about how insurance handles this type of thing. I do know that there are a LOT of idiotic things people say about all types of problems. Ask difficult child to trust you to give him the right information about his disorder - NOT to trust some orderly or "not a doctor or nurse" person to give him the correct information. Also tell him that you know quite a few people here who have had good lives even though they have borderline personality disorder. Keep reminding him of this. Maybe if you reach out to Janet or ask Hound Dog to ask her daughter if it is okay to share some of their stories iwth difficult child it would help. They are the two who come to mind right now. It doesn't matter what the problem or diagnosis is, you can have a miserable life or a wonderful one. Most are in between, but NO diagnosis is a guarantee of misery unless you want it. I hope things either get better or you can find a bed at a more appropriate facility. in my opinion the fact that he thinks it is under control right now is evidence of how much he needs inpatient help.
