[QUOTE="AprilH, post: 133978"] My son was hospitalized in the children's psychiatric ward here in town for ten days at age six also. I know it's hard to do, but believe me, it will get the ball rolling towards getting him evaluated and hopefully some more appropriate help for his conditions. I had been banging my head against a wall trying to get someone, anyone to take me seriously that my son needed help for about two years prior to my son being admitted. That is where everything started to fell into place with getting him set up in the system for help that he desperately needed, and also, it was a good cooling off period for everyone involved to get their heads together. The behaviors that you described that your son is displaying are very similar to what by son has been doing since he was about two and a half/three years old, and I am working on him going to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) right now. I do not want to do this, but it is getting to a point where I am running out of options for him, and I am scared of what awaits me when he gets to be a teenager. The earlier you get an intervention for you, your son and the rest of your family, the better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just keep reading the posts of some of the others in here with older children. It will get harder in the coming days, but things WILL GET BETTER ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I am slowly learning to let go, and let the chips fall where they may, and keeping the faith that although it doesn't seem that my son will get any better (he may not, ever!) I can still so whatever is necessary to try and make him a productive member of society when the time happens. Sending BIG hugs to you and your family!:happy2: [/QUOTE]
