[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 208403, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. You must be feeling pretty beat up and hopeless about now. Sending gentle (((((hugs))))). It is good that difficult child admitted he has a problem. I think getting him into a psychiatrist as soon as possible is pretty important. You and husband are also going to have to talk. With difficult child being as big as he it, you simply MUST have a safety plan. You have to work out ways to handle things when he is violent. IF that means that you don't stay at home alone with him, then so be it. You may need to hire a college kid to come stay when your husband and easy child both travel. I suggest a guy because our kids seem to react better wtih them, at least our boys do. Maybe you should also put a cord on your cell and carry it on your person, so it is harder for difficult child to cut you off from communication. Whatever you do, please keep in mind that no matter if he has his medications or not, violence simply can't be tolerated. NOT saying he has to go to juvy, just that he has to get help. Even if it means another trip to the hospital. You CAN ask the police to transfer him to a psychiatric hospital if he is violent with you again. Anyway, all that can be worried about tomorrow. Tonight, take care of YOU, get some rest, if you have a PRN medication that makes difficult child sleepy, I recommend it. A glass of wine, or whatever helps YOU relax is also in order. I hope you can both get some sleep. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
