[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 376020, member: 1233"] Have you tried calling churches and private foundations to see if they have programs that would take her? I spent a lot of hours on the phone to find help with my difficult child at one point. I started with our pastor, calling him and asking if he knew of any therapeutic schools or homes or whatever run by a private group. He said no, but call A or B. I called A and B both, explaining the situation and asking them the same question. They didn't know, but try C or D. I actually gave each group a letter and got through VV before I stopped. I found about 6 programs that might be able to help and 4 of them were willing to evaluate him to see if he was eligible for upcoming openings. Before I could take him to them, my parents asked for a chance to turn him around. So I called back and said we had found an opening, an thanked them. because I called back to let them know we had chosen something else, they were willing to evaluate him at a future date if needed. This would ONLY be an option if Fastone would ever let them actually go to these places to be helped. If Satanica is violent to you or anyone else, or is just more than you can handle at home, there is the option of making her a ward of the state. You have to go through the police usually, and usually child support must be paid (will be very minimal because based only on Fastone's income and in some states they cannot take it out of disability, instead filing for SSI or disability for the child), and she goes to foster homes or group homes. Then the state MUST pay for mental health care for her. Sorry it may come to that. in my opinion it is the only way she will ever receive any real help. I hope you don't lose your sanity if Fastone refuses to let her go if it is dangerous to keep her at home. Make physical safety a priority - if she assaults you, press charges no matter what Fastone wants. The police may be reluctant to do it, but you have the right to insist. Go to a Domestic Violence center for help, or call a DV hotline if you need help with getting the cops to do their jobs about this. I really wish there were more options available for you. Do you think your marriage will be able to outlast Satanica's teen years? [/QUOTE]
