A post will follow later tonight.
[UPDATE: Tues 26 Feb - Too late 00:15. I have much to do before we can go on holiday. Posting needs to wait until we're back. With luck I'll have chance to write the post while away. Perhaps time and distance will change my thinking but doubt that anyone else's will change. Are we the family from hell or are we lepers? I know what I feel but what is an objective assessment? Who knows? ]
I've taken this unusual step because I must blog on this subject tonight: tomorrow I'm taking the kids away for a few days .
I know the odds are that I won't find the time tonight and so I hope this precursor will stimulate me.
Are we so bad that the NHS doesn't want to touch us?
Are we winding everyone up so much?
Can we not see what all the clinicians see?
Are the NHS in the right and we are the cause of our own problems or are we a family with problems whom the NHS has unjustifiably labelled as difficult and, therefore, to be denied treatment.
Much more tonight if I can find the time. Once started there'll be a splurge of words.

Thank You :-)
I am sorry you are having such a bad time at the moment. Hopefully you will feel refreshed after a few days away.
yes i agree with cherrypie... enjoy your few days away x
I'm just back from ten days away so I am a bit behind here. I hope you are enjoying or enjoyed your vacation.
It's a fine line to tread between being a patient advocate and coming across as what is perceived as critical and consequently getting passed by unjustifiably. I say that because no matter what occurs, the bottom line is helping the patient get better. That is their job. Period!
Take care, enjoy your holiday, and don't give up. Never give up.
Just an observation having read many of your other posts:
If you are a difficult family with difficult problems (of your families own creation or otherwise) are you not more in need of help?
After all we are talking about mental health issues rather that your family having a season ticket to casualty because you like extreme sports.
I do wish you and your family well though.
Yes! That's what I would have thought and hoped but ....
Thanks for taking the time to read so many posts and for caring enough to comment.
