I'm sorry, Sharla. I can only imagine how difficult this must be. I hope all goes well and that he is more like himself very soon. Hugs to you.

For some people with mental illness, getting hospitalized is a step in a good direction because they receive some one-on-one attention and intervention in a stable setting. I hope that's the case for your son, Sharla.
You're making the right and very hard choice. Your son is fortunate in that regard, even if he doesn't get that right now.

Oh Sharla, I'm so sorry to hear that. Angry or not, you're doing what you think is best for him. I pray that they can get his meds right so he can be stabilized. Lots of thoughts and prayers for him and for you.

Sharla, I hope your son will understand that this is something you are not doing lightly, and that it is where he needs to be right now. He might be afraid or angry, but that won't last. Once they get his medications stabilized, he should be able see that this was a good thing, if he doesn't see it right now. You know in your heart you did the right thing, right?

I'm sorry it's come to this, Sharlag. My DD went into voluntary treatment for depression a couple years ago. Even though it was voluntary, it was still incredibly hard to walk away.
It was the best thing for her, & I know this will work out for your DS. Big hugs to you, Mama. Sometimes parenting sucks butt.

For help with his bipolar symptoms. This is the recommendation of the er staff. He's really paranoid and depressed I'm afraid he'll be scared in there. And mad at me. I dare say he is probably scared out here, too. |

I'm sorry, Sharla.
I had to do that several years ago. It was severe depression with mine. My child was so angry with us. It really was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It broke my heart. She spent 2 months in the hospital.
Sharla, yes, he may be scared. He will probably be mad at you. He will probably say some hurtful stuff. But you want him to be safe. Just keep remembering that you're a fabulous mom.
I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the absolute best.

I may be giving to much info, but please know you are doing the best thing you can for him.
I was in a similar situation and was so mad at my family but I am so thankful today for what they did for me.
I was so scared but I really got taken care of.
When my mom would come to visit I could see that she wasn't doing it to punish me. She was just as hurt as I was.
Please keep your head up and stay positive.
If you have any questions I'm happy to answer whatever I can.
