[QUOTE="HowMuchLonger, post: 411438, member: 11280"] I was thinking the same thing susie...it might not have accomplished much but now they know us. If we have to go that route again, at least i won't have to re-explain the situation....I feel like after talking to the officer, then the ambulance attendant, then another officer, nurse, GP and finally psychiatrist, I told the story over and over and over again...I was starting to get sick of my own voice. She didn't give me an exact name of a medication she was thinking of for anger control, but did say she would prefer if we got the ADHD medications figured out before adding anything else. After fighting the last 2.5 years to keep him off medications i'm just so ready to give him a cocktail to keep him "normal". The worst part about last night is I felt they somewhat turned it around to me (and perhaps reasonably so). I pretty much cried the entire time (to which difficult child 3 continually asked.."why are you crying??!!" ugh), and when the psychiatric informed me they were sending him home with pretty much nothing I just broke down. I was angry, scared, confused, resentful and really unsure of whether I even wanted to bring him home and I couldn't even talk I was just so letdown at that point. Her response was for me to make sure I was taking MY medications...as if I was just this emotionally wrecked crazy woman suffering worse mental issues than her kid. Some days I wish I could kick, scream and swear like he does when life doesn't go my way! :P [/QUOTE]
