[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid has had a lot of mental health crises in the past two years. I want to be able to drive to him if there’s a crisis or the warning lights start to flash.

I think the less stable the child is, the less it makes sense to fly him far away from his doctors/family/support.[/quote]

I posted earlier, but I didn’t share this as being one of my reasons. I get it. My child also has ADHD and school has been a struggle. Hoping she is able to become a mature adult without too much more trouble, but I am keeping all options open for her.[/quote]

One of my sisters kid with no prior mental health history had a first major bipolar incident in college and ended up picked up by police.  It was scary as hell because nobody knew what was going on.  He ended up committed and it was hell getting him released.  They were able to drive there in less than 2 hours and transfer him to a facility near home.

A lot of mental issues, particularly male, first appear at adolescence.

I also had a friend get very sick/hospitalized and it took parents 48 hours to get there with flights, terrifying.

I prefer my kids to remain East Coast and if farther than 4 hours near an airport.  One will be 17 when they head off.[/quote]
