[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 725044, member: 15032"] You definitely did the right thing. So your son does not live with you? Does he live alone? Is he an addict? My son spent a week in a psychiatric ward twice this year after threatening suicide. His girlfriend called on him. He was out of state at the time and using and thankfully he is now in a long term treatment program. We had sent him to Florida to go to sober living, go to college, work and he was not successful long term; he just played around and never really stayed sober for long. I know how hard this is but we are mothers. We are not mental health professionals. We are not rehabs. We are not in charge of the universe. Don't be hard on yourself. There is no instruction book on how to deal with all of this. It's heartbreaking and difficult. [/QUOTE]
