[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 82664, member: 3907"] Willow, you make a good point about difficult child's medications. I need to talk to the psychiatrist right away about adjusting/adding/switching his medications around. We are working with social services and the youth court to get the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement organized for him as fast as we can. But it's complex, and the wheels grind slowly. As things stand...if difficult child is away from home and not under my or SO's supervision...even at a hospital, he is in breach of the court order and will be put in jail. (The police who he dealt with in the summer kept him locked in an interview room at the station, because they were afraid that he'd be beaten or killed if they put him in the cells...he may be 6 ft 4, but he only weighs 115 lbs and functions at the level of a 6-yr-old, and he can't stop running his mouth...even when a bigger stronger boy is holding him up off the floor by his shirtfront, which happened at school last year) Until we can get the court order changed, we can't even take him to the hospital unless SO or I stay there with him. Step-d hasn't phoned so far today, so I'm praying that all is well at home. Sigh. Thanks for your support. I feel better just knowing you all understand. [/QUOTE]
