So here it is....morning. Didn't hear anything from the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or ER last night so I called the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) first thing this morning to find out what's going on. Apparently difficult child is still in the ER waiting to see the psychiatrist. Once he sees the psychiatrist then they will know whether or not he will be admitted to a psychiatric hospital somewhere. I am SO glad I refused to drive down there yesterday. If I had I would have been the one sitting there for almost 24 hours. I've been through that more than one time before and those days are over. If they find a hospital for him that's somewhat local I will be happy to drive there to sign him in. If they can't find anything local they will have to take my verbal consent and send or fax me the papers to sign. If they don't like it they can call DYFS. That threat does NOT scare me anymore because I know I've done everything I can do. These people need to realize that I also have another child to care for and that all of this stuff with his brother affects him more than anything. It's not fair for HIM to have to be put on the backburner all the time so that we can tend to difficult child's needs constantly.
