[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 382045, member: 1169"] I had to really battle my own PTSD while making these calls to find help for him. I did my best to avoid anywhere we had ever sent Kanga but looking at using services from a psychiatric hospital was almost overwhelming. I always saw them as places to hold her to give us a break from the violence because they never, ever helped Kanga get any better. I explained to this new place that I was concerned about putting him in a unit (even just the day program) with kids like Kanga. She explained that kids like Kanga are very rare and that they likely would not have accepted Kanga as they are focused on children with anxiety and related disorders. Huge difference in that Tigger wants to be better, that tdocs always report that he tries very hard and we have always seen improvement with him and therapy. Tig slept for 3 hours after we got home from school. When he woke up, he asked some questions about what happened - he doesn't remember anything from the last 20 minutes or so at the school nor the ride home. He said he does remember saying very mean things to me but wishes he didn't remember that part and that he could have me forget it too. He's been very calm all night. He made me a card that had a question mark for all the stuff I have to figure out, a lightbulbs for my great ideas, and a sun to keep us happy and "love you" written on it. [/QUOTE]
