[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 337764, member: 6546"] Busywend-- I agree 100% !!!! Unfortunately, I have no place to send her. She is our bio child, so there is no sending her to another parent. No other relatives are willing to take her. We have applied to two RTCs (that accept parent referrals) and been rejected. The doctor at psychiatric hospital told us to "just keep doing what we're doing" and refused to take her last time we brought her in for suicide threats and referred us instead to country mental health. Treatment at county mental health is at a standstill because new Medicaid requirements force them to partially fund any Residential Treatment Center (RTC) options--so they are just not doing those referrals any more...and her therapist just seems plain out of ideas. So we are continuing to see therapist. We are continuing with the county's psychiatrist (this is the new one that we finally got to see after months and months) and we start testing at the university tomorrow with another new psychiatrist. We also got approved for the waitlist for the state's program to help families with severely emotionally disturbed children. Again, that's just the [I]waitlist[/I]. We don't actually get any additional services until she reaches the top of the list...which could literally take years. We figure that if we keep batting the bushes and making a lot of noise that SOMETHING has to give somewhere to help us... --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
