Treatment Isn't Failure — And It Isn't a Guarantee

Making the decision to send your child to a higher level of care is something no parent takes lightly.By the time you reach that point, you’ve probably already tried everything you know how to do. You’ve hoped things would get better, held onto the good stretches, and wondered if maybe you had finally turned a corner.In this episode, I talk about what happens emotionally when you realize your child may need more help than you can provide at home, and why making that decision doesn’t necessarily quiet the fear.Did I make the right choice?  Will treatment work?  What happens if things get hard again?These are difficult questions, and they don’t always have simple answers.  Let’s talk about what it means to make one of the hardest decisions a parent can face, and what you may need to remember along the way.
