ohhoney, i went thru the same thing with my dd, and i understand just how hard it is to walk away from the locked door, but know this, you did do the right thing. i have a wonderful relationship with dd now, she is on meds and is a totally different person. i believe your dd was crying out for you to help her, and you did.

I read in one of my college class s that 15% of the population of the US seek phyc. help and that another 15% need to. Thats 30% of the population of the US or just about one in three. Good luck.

I visited with my daughter tonite at the facility.  She s calmed down trememdously, and seemed more rational.  She said she knows I put her there to get her help and she s not upset with me anymore over it.  She seems very glad to be getting help.  I m encouraged! []

Suezyque, I can only guess at how hard it must have been for you to take that action. Only someone who truly loves could have the courage to do what you have done. I hope things continue to move in the right direction for both of you. You ve got all the prayers we can send you.

Suezyque,
 My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  
 
 My sister put her then 17 year old son into a residential treatment center two years ago.  He has since turned his life around (he had psychological problems and drug dependency) and is now living on his own, attending college, working and receiving therapy.  Although he was very angry at the time, he is very grateful now to my sister and her husband for making this very difficult decision.  I truly believe that it was necessary to keep my nephew alive.  
 
 My best to you in this difficult time.

 You know my prayers are with you as many times before as you have done for me.  
 
 You are a great mom and are being proactive in dealing with her problems.  Keep the faith girl, he is always at your side.
 
 Chin up sister, you did the right thing.

You and your family are in our prayers.  I hope all continues to keep progressing.  No matter how hard it was for you to do what was done, what you really have done is to give your daughter the chance to be the best she possibly can and to live her life with joy.  That takes great strength and great love.

SZQ,
 
 My dh and I went through a similar situation last summer with my step-DS.  At the time, it was tremendously harrowing and heartbreaking all at the same time, but in the end, everything worked out fine and he is back to our usual sweet boy.  
 
 Romans 8:28  (" And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose." ) and John 16:33 (" These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." ) always give me great comfort whenever I am facing things too big for me.  Keep reminding yourself that God is good and faithful, and regardless of what trials and hardships we face, His plans are only ever to prosper us.  You have my hugs and my prayers.

Suzy.
 As a mom, sometimes you know in your gut that you are doing the right thing but it can also be the hardest thing you ve ever done. Tough love is just that. Although we have not gone through what you are now, we have had to use some tough love quite a few times. I always figured that God sent us this child because He knew we could handle him. Today he is a really neat kid. We are all very close. They know they are loved and that is what counts. Good Luck...our prayers are with you.

Suezyque - You have more than my prayers, you have my empathy. I was once the daughter of this situation. I was once hanging out with the wrong crowd, and definately doing things no girl my age should have been doing. I used to have sometimes violent arguments with my mother, and also threatened to kill myself. My mother, like you, had to bring me to a special place to stay for a while and get some therapy. I lived there for 6 monthes and went to school there for 1 year. It did a world of good. Today, my mother and I are very close. I married the typical " boy-next-door" , who knows what I would have married otherwise. Also, because of it, I am a calm, patient mother with my children. If you ever feel the need to talk to someone who has been in this situation, don t hesitate to e-mail me. I hope it all works out for you. Good Luck.
