[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 320483, member: 1631"] Linda-You are right, things can't continue at this level. I'm so very tired tonight and feeling more of the emotional part of Tuesday night now than I think I did even then. Does that make sense? Fran-Thank you, you have very good insight. I think part of me is scared that maybe he won't be able to live a more mainstreamed life. I know it's a strong possibility and it is a big concern-honestly scares the bejeebers out of me. psychiatrist is not using hospital as a punishment-just told husband we need him and everyone else to be safe. K-I do get the part where either of us can take the time out; I was just thinking how cool it could be if difficult child could learn to decide on one on his own at some point. Toto-I know what you mean about wondering if they will ever get it-about the impulse control-we've been dealing with it for years with-o tons of improvement although we have seen some. EB-I'm not sure how it is here but think they lean heavily towards what the parents recommend but no guarantees. K-We do have a crisis plan to hand the police if need be about difficult child being MI and needing to go to psychiatric hospital if necessary. Heather-Thank you and I don't feel you are being critical. It may that he ends up needing an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) environment. I've felt this way before; psychiatrist, therapist, and others haven't seen the need. I think it is because of those long stretches in between. Guessing it's getting to the point where I need to at least get more of a take on it from husband. Of course, it doesn't help that he calls us crying at respite (even when he's having fun) or any other time he isn't around us. Mary-Thank you for the hugs and good thoughts. Thank you to everyone; please know I appreciate all of your insight and good thoughts and prayers. [/QUOTE]
