[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 533988"] Oh my what an incredibly stressful day..... besides work issues I have been on tenderhooks all day wondering what is going to happen with difficult child. Yesterday they mentioned 3 places... all sounded good but one didn't do much in the way of aftercare..... this morning they called me and difficult child threatened a staff member last night (verbally but still not ok) and so they wanted to discharge him today. They gave him 2 places to call... and of course it was the one they didn't mention that I thought might be best... so I made frantic calls checking why they didn't mention that one. They talked to him and I guess he was pretty tearful. He so sabatoges himself and I don't think he has any understanding of why he does it!! Anyway they told him that if he went and fully completed one of these programs he could come back..... so he has agreed to go to the place that doesn't do a lot of aftercare, but the aftercare could be coming back to this place......but then he called me because it seemed the place he wants to go to takes 2 to 3 days to get into and they want to discharge him today which would leave him where??? So i checked and yes it does take that long....but i really feel he needs to go to the place he feels is the best place, and not feel forced into a place he doesn't want to go to. Well the case manager agreed with me.... and so finally he is going to stay in an isolated support room until he can be transferred to this other place. And it looks like that will be tomorrow.... and he has now been reassured he wont end up on the street. Phew.... but it is just a day filled with angst for me!!! I am drained. On top of all that our very old dog has the runs and is making messes all over the place and it is driving the rest of us nuts.... and my daughter and I are wondering if it is time to put her down. The dog is a yellow lab and is 12 years old with several health problems... but she still seems like a happy dog so I feel guilty putting her down because she has become so hard for the rest of us to take care of her. Right now life stinks! Hopefully it will be better tomorrow. TL [/QUOTE]
