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
