Good news for my son

Good news for my son

Hi everyone,

I finally have good news. My son has been addmitted to hospital. This was really hard for me to do but I knew it had to be done. I contacted my sons doctor we had a long discussion and then he went with me to the mental health section. A referral was written and the mental health team went to visit him. I was there at the beginning of the assessment and then I left as I knew I would cry. He was addmitted that afternoon. He has since been detoxing in a safe place. I am relieved and finding a little peace. I have not had contact with him for 5days which that also has been hard as Ive been the rock or so to speak. There is a rainbow out there you just have to be persistant when seeking help. Keep knocking if the door is slammed keep knocking as I did.

Thank you all for listening to me I am grateful Time
