Quilt in a Day Forums

Robbyn has been transferred to Hutchings Psychiatric Hospital. I can only see her 2 hours a day - 3-5 Monday thru Friday and then either 10-12 or 1 to 5 on Saturday and Sunday. She was there all of an hour and a half and called me - someone tried to escape so the floor was evacuated. She had yet to see her room. Dinner was disappointing. I can't see her room or hall which frustrates me to no end. I am going to take her "appropriate clothing" tomorrow - hoodies are not allowed. I will go tomorrow and maybe Friday. I told her I would take the weekend off, hoping she would make friends and get into a schedule. But they did let her keep her blanket from Aunt Cindy and Derek and her teddy bear. When we said good bye I started to cry and she said but I am getting help! So maybe this is for the best!


My sister informed me tonight that all that Rob is going through is my fault. I have pictures of Bernie on the wall, his ashes are on the piano, I talk about him, I have no boyfriend, I have not had a date and I still wear my rings and his ring. If I had gotten on with my life, Rob would have also gotten on. So once again, everything is my fault! Let's just continue to blame everything on me! Sorry for venting.........

I can't begin to know all that you have been, and continue to go through, but I do know this....it is NOT, I repeat NOT all your fault. We all make our way through this life the best we are able, and I don't know of anyone that is able to do things perfectly.
Just do your best, and keep moving forward. We have no control over the past, and tomorrow isn't here yet, so live today the best you can.
Take care. Joan

So sorry for all your troubles. Maybe you need someone to hear your feelings and someone who can help you with your own grief. It is such a tough thing to go through and Robynn's issues will heal if she continues to get some help. Don't put blame on yourself. You seem to have your own set of problems to deal with.

Just take one day at a time. Things will get better. Have faith that God will help your both through this tough time.

Sending my hugs

SAd to read all your problems.But it is not your fault.Trust God to help you thur this.He is always near.Glad she is getting help.Prayers for you....Becca

So sorry to hear of this. It would be nice if we all had this much control and could just cause all this stuff by ourselves but we don't. Due to my own family issues right now I don't know the beginning of this story but sure can hear the hurt. Will include you and your family in my prayers. Valerie

My thought and prays are with you through this bad time of your life. Remember to take care of you first. Even if a little bite of chocolate for you. Bernie your guardian Angel watch over your too. I'm glad your talking to him. Remember to talk to your Father in Heaven too. He knows what to need just ask.
