[QUOTE="Star*, post: 419819, member: 4964"] .....The social worker said - if they see him back for the same reason they will admit him immediately without any question. (He heard this right) and now he 'knows' and you feel you have back up. Explain this, so I don't misunderstand because to me it sounds like you are using the ER staff as a sort of intimidation for your son. If this is the case? Then this is not mental health - it is behavioral. Which is good in the fact that therapy long term would be what is needed. I realize that three times a week isn't realistic, it wasn't for us either, but we made it work. The look on my face when it was told to us was -well I can't even make that face in words. The conversation was simple. Your son has psychopathic tendencies, either you do the work now and save him; or you don't. When it gets put to you like that? When his biofather is a psycho/sociopath and Bi-polar, drug addict, alcoholic, abuses women, animals and you think - either that or some hope? My choices weren't hard to make. (I should have explained that and didn't - my apologies) I just really beleive it getting kids in therapy especially when they have been exposed to any kind of trauma from birth to 4 years including divorce, moving, separation, house fires, abuse, huricanes, tornados, floods, etc. All of which my son was exposed to and more. Our life was ridiculous. I'm not sure what your son has been if any, but I do know that therapy - any kind of therapy helps. Also the fact that a couple days in a row he's gone off the deep end and then he hears the lady at the ER say - he'll be admitted and now you're getting some peace? Makes me wonder. Not saying it's a solid, but just wondering if he didn't feel intimidated enough by her to think and hear "I don't maintain - I get taken from Mom." It's interesting if nothing else.' If that's what it is? He has a good beginning in working for behavior therapy. Hugs - it's been a very rough week for you and him both. [/QUOTE]
