Thanks all! Your support means so much to me- I really appreciate it. Marg, you bring up some good points. I had asked some of those questions, but not all. I will mull this over and work on it.
Totoro, I had never heard of ACT or the other thing you brought up- I will look into it.
One concern that I have this morning- the man from the state MHMR agency who said he would try to get the Children Services Board (CSB) to talk with me about available resources also said he needed to check into this first and make some phone calls to "get the other side of the story and that in this case it sounded like there were 3 sides". He asked my son's name, where he went to school, who his private psychiatrist and therapist are, and I'd already told him the locality where difficult child is on probation. Can he call all these people and inadvertantly stir up a bunch of stuff with the PO and judge and social services? Obviously, this was done over the phone and no release forms were signed but I'm worried about it now.
Edited to add: difficult child did go to school on time today- he's living in an illusion. like nothing is wrong. I checked phone records online and he tried to call that "firend" 4 times yesterday evning.
I just got a call from a lady at the state agency- another person that I'd left a message for yesterday. I explained everything again, including the frustration over no one being willing to help a family who isn't on medicaid and where the kid isn't a foster child or adopted (at least that's the way it works around here) and how it appears much cheaper and iin the kid's best interested to help with resources to keep the child in the home but that if they can't do that, then I need to know what to do and who to talk to to get him somewhere where he can be taken care of. I told her about Mr. X from yesterday and she said she would discuss it with him and one of them would get back to me.
