I took difficult child to check out the day treatment plan yesterday. The guy seems really good and difficult child really seemed to think it was cool. He was definitely in his prime though, couldn't sit still, was out of seat, drawing on board, taking pens, interrupting constantly, changing subject, getting angry, etc....
The guy saw the real difficult child-I thought that could only help our case. When he shook my hand good bye and said he'd be in touch I didn't have a great feeling.
Today I talked to difficult child's case manager and she said he doesn't think he will fit well with the program-what I got out of it is he thinks difficult child needs too much one on one. Basically I feel like he feels difficult child is too intense. He hasn't completely ruled him out-plans on talking to his psychiatrist and therapist and school but I did get the feeling they are going to say no.
So....if a day treatment program thinks he is too intense.... where do we go from here? I wanted to sit down and cry only I don't have any tears right now.
