[QUOTE="klmno, post: 235554, member: 3699"] Crazy, there is no way this will work. My ONLY hope of ever being able to meet difficult child's needs is to go back to work full time (as in a minimum of 40 hrs/week) starting next week. What about him needing supervision 24/7? therapist and psychiatrist and PO appts- and at least some I need to attend? When I work full time, it takes all my after hours time to meet the demands of being a single parent to a typical teen. This will require more because now we'll probably end up with mst again which meant a good deal of time with this jerk on top of household/normal parental requirements and time dealing with difficult child stuff. If I thought it was leading to the things I put on my list, fine. But my gut is telling me that it is not. I haven't figured out how to cover this months bills yet. My work requires a great deal of concentration- I simply cannot go a few hours here and there when this kind of stuff is stirred up and the job requires more than that anyway. We tried that for months last summer and fall and that is when I started trying to get more help. In the meantime, things kept getting worse. Now we are dealing with a worse problem. And I personally am in worse shape financially and mentally and emotionally and our house is in worse shape- it is damaged and difficult child is in worse shape and on the verge of being turned over to state. I have 3 appts set for this week, not to mention time needed at psychiatric hospital. I can't pick difficult child up and drop him off at home and go to work. I cannot take him for hours to the office regularly. I cannoot stay ahead of keeping things locked up at home- it's impossible to lock everything up that he has to be watched around. It takes a much more secure environment. I can't stay awake for 2 days straight when he's cycling. [/QUOTE]
