Going to the Mental Hospital.............

Well,
Tomorrow, my husband and I will be spending TG visiting our son at the Hospital.
Hows that for a weird place to spend your day.
It will be ok, we have visited him there before.
The only bad thing is that you can only bring prepared food in for the visit. No home made goodies.
Maybe next year he will be out for the holidays.
Could use some hugs and good vibes through these times.
Ruth

You can give thanks that you can see him, knowing that he is safe, and to hell with the bird. Thanksgiving is all about loving and sharing, and you'll get to do that. Peace & love coming your way. Oh yea, and lots and lots of hugs (((((((Ruth))))))))

I know it will be hard, hun. We once spent a Christmas day at the psych hospital with my daughter. Be thankful that he's safe, hopefully getting the help he needs. I found myself blaming myself a lot during those years and the doctors there reminded me that mental illness is no one's fault (except for genetic pre-disposition) and I wouldn't have been able to do much to help her by myself anyway. Love to you and your husband and son... when you're done- you and your hubby do something special for the two of you.

Thanks to you all for hugs and vibes.
Yes, he is safe there, pretty much so anyway, and he is getting the treatment he needs and like you said Nani, he is getting the help I can't give him.
The only thing I blame myself for is that I didn't try to get him into a hospital before he hurt someone. I new something was wrong, but I had no idea he was as bad off as he turned out to be.
I am thankful that he is where he can get help and is not in prison and he is doing well with the treatment.
He will serve 15 years under the PSRB board so they will be keeping a close eye on him.
I am very thankful for the fact the person he hurt is well and very thankful to be so close that I can visit with my son often.
I am also very thankful for all of you for being good friends and HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL
Ruth

Enjoy the time you can spend with him and don't beat yourself up about things that are in the past. You can't change it - look forward for you and your family.
Hugs to you hon - I can only imagine how tough that must be.

Ruth, don't beat yourself up. Hindsight is often 20/20. Some things ya just don't see coming. Clarity often comes after the event has already happened.
Hugs to ya. Try and just enjoy the day.
