[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 476534, member: 1550"] Hey...do what you have to do to keep all of you safe, including him. I had to call 911 on my daughter once as she pulled a knife on herself. The police took her away in handcuffs and, being a teenager, you can only imagine the things she said as she left. But what else could we do? She wouldn't give us the knife and I didn't want her to get hurt. Sometimes our only choice is to allow our beloved children to hurt themselves (or others) or try to get help. She spent two weeks in a hospital. In spite of all the horrible things she shouted at us and the police took her away (and in spite of how I begged the cops not to handcuff her), things are fine between us now. She knows, in her older more mature mind, that we were just trying to keep her safe. And our younger ones know it too when they can not control themselves. Is live-in help really an option? I never heard of the state paying for that, although it makes a lot of sense. That would be a nice trend! Hugs, and keep us posted! You know we care! [/QUOTE]
