[QUOTE="DDD, post: 618868, member: 35"] I am truly sorry that you are in this painful situation. Honestly I have not been there done that (although I've had different anxieties, stress and pain due to substance abuse issues with my easy child/difficult child). Since I have not been in your shoes I'll offer advice on what I believe is your best choice. Get a notebook, a phone book or the internet and call every possible resource...AND...make notes of where you called, who you spoke with AND VERY IMPRTANT ask each person if they can refer you to some agency or person who may help your difficult child. That is how I found the people who could help with our specific issues and I think it could lead to help for your family. Usually you can just "feel" who is knowledgeable and caring on the phone. Sometimes more than one person will refer to THE person who is considered the expert or THE agency that has the best reputation. It may not lead you to an answer but at the absolute least you will have a notebook of info that might become helpful at a later date. Many caring and understanding hugs are coming your way. Personally I survived by repeating The Serenity Prayer over and over and over. DDD [/QUOTE]
