[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 746261, member: 22819"] Well, biodad stepped up and went ahead with the new place. I am glad and relieved. I still need to talk to staff and maybe even to L about how he feels about it, but biodad said that he was nervous and confused about the change at first, but then seemed okay. I will apply all this advice to the new place, and make sure I'm heard. I already feel much more confident in their methodology than Clinic 1. It is so hard for me to make that decision - if I believe he is "bad" or if I have faith that he can change. I'm afraid of being wrong either way. Very much on the fence with this. Cognitive dissonance comes into play too, because what I thought I knew was chopped to pieces by the psychiatrists. But what they say does not make sense when I take into account what L was like before 13yo. I'm hoping that someone in this new facility can tell me that they don't think he'll try to hurt me again. If I only have myself to go on, it will be an impossible decision. I need a professional to tell me it'll be okay, even if I know that it's not a guarantee. [/QUOTE]
