[QUOTE="maril, post: 285555, member: 5937"] Hi, stepmama. I am sorry things are so difficult for you all. Regarding your day alone with your stepson: If you are concerned about handling the situation alone, I would ask for help from other family members; if possible, maybe one of his brothers (I see he has two adult brothers, according to your signature?). Do you have access to adolescent crisis team intervention, in case you would need support? That has been a helpful resource through our county for us in the past when our son was out of control. As far as motivating him while waiting for placement to occur: Prior to my son's placement in an inpatient program, we would just try to keep things on an even keel as much as possible and not escalate; now that he is more stable, it is easier to enforce limits and to communicate with him; just a thought. Good luck. I hope you are successful in finding a good Residential Treatment Center (RTC). [/QUOTE]
