[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476522, member: 12886"] OK, thanks for giving me permission to feel yucky about my own kid. malika, that is what I have been talking to them about all week. And t he public health nurse and journaling, and his doctor. I told him that I will call 911 and I know that is part of why he is still mad at me. I told him it is a new day and I wont be hurt anymore. I told him I am sorry you have a hard time but I have to keep everyone safe and especially last time, lots of people were unsafe. Its my job to make sure you and they are okay too. So I think he is scared because he knows he can't stop it very often. We have been practicing new words at the hospital to use and he actually showed me and asked me to do it too. So I pretended to be mad, he said "halt" and I did two deep breaths. I went to the mail tonight and my step mom sent me a check. She is the only parent still working and it was very sweet. She knows I have put 2000 miles on my car in the last two weeks. to put that in perspective, my car is 2004, bought brand new at the beginning of 2006 with 80 miles on it. It now has under 40,000 miles, I dont drive much! so to do that in two weeks! holy cow. I ride bike and walk lots plus everything is close by. anyway, back to the topic, if he becomes violent again and I can't calm him...911 if I can then I call intake and is file is ready for an updated assessment and he can go straight there without the er. if after 30 days just means he has to do the full needs assessment but that is not a huge deal. I can change my waiver services...I have a three bedroom home and I could have a live in person which would still cost the county less than residential and would meet his needs better. so we will see. it stinks that it is only like 5% of his day if it happens at all. but now that he is getting bigger that can be a LONG time.
