[QUOTE="klmno, post: 257301, member: 3699"] I had been doing that- the PO ordered an in home therapist even though I knew we needed much more in order to keep going- and I mean survival. difficult child had already had 2 acute psychiatric hospital stays in a 6 1/2 week period. He had a knife to my throat demanding a pack of cigs 11 days before we even had the introduction with the therapist. I had called cops about 4 times in the last month alone. We aren't talking about a kid that just rages- we are talking about a kid who could commit suicide or homocide, in my humble opinion. The psychiatrist recommended psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I wanted this too, and so did the people at the previous (different) psychiatric hospital. Department of Juvenile Justice wouldn't let me put him in. Of course, if I just give him the cigs and don't report him, then I'm in trouble for contributing to delinquency- it's in his court order not to smoke. difficult child knows I'm in this poition- that's how it got to this point. Playing along with certain things is one thing- playing along with them sitting there telling us difficult child is doing this as a reaction to me and it's my fault has served nothing but making him worse- not going to school, etc. The more I try to straighten out the mess, the more conflict there is between difficult child and me. And now it's to a paoint where he's going to be an abuser if something doesn't change. [/QUOTE]
