[QUOTE="Andy, post: 162618, member: 5096"] I am so sorry you have to go through this! It is so hard to make that choice of hospitalization and then not to have the staff see what is going on. Like the others said, maybe someone will ask difficult child to do something that will set him off in the hospital. I know it would be asking too much but I wonder what would happen if you did not go visit or accept phone calls for a few days? Would that add enough stress to difficult child to start showing some of these behaviors? However, he is awefully young to ask that of a parent and I don't think I could do it myself. Also, maybe he will not like a staff member on the weekend crew and show some rebellion at that point? As with Aly, many kids can hold it in long enough to get home. They feel safe to throw the tatrums and anger at home so will wait if they can. Do you have the police report to show the doctors? They may only have the behavior from when difficult child entered the doors of ER - how did the police document the behavior. (or what ever emergency person answerring the 911 call). That may help the docs realize the seriousness of this (also show them a copy of your ER visit for stitches). I know that all though you are enjoying the peace and quiet and using this time to destress, it is still breaking your heart. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. [/QUOTE]
