[QUOTE="compassion, post: 256633, member: 6393"] I find Nami so helpful:so many are parents with young pwoplw 18-in their twenties. In Nami Parent to Prent class, I love the saying "You couldn't have known what you were not told" My difficult child is currently in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (at 15) . It is keeping her off the strrets, off of drugs and adherent with medications . She has not had a hoome visit yet:we see her muliple times a week and talk daily. I am in the porcess of getting SSI/medicaid which will be a huge help: it will pay for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) plus other swervices. Plus, we can decuct the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) on taxes. I am now rally happy I have this chance becsue I have heard do many parents sy after 18, so much less input. We are usisng this time to have extrsnsive testing doen: do deal with her educaitonal issues, medical issues. She wants to be back by fall and try pubilc high school (alwasys been homeschooled). I am putting togeh half day school awith IOP (intensive outpatient). i know ehat you mean: I wanted her to findih bvollyeball season and do club vollyball but when she kept running away and putting herself in danger, and was missing vollyeball,etc., I figure it had to be done. I really needed to apply for SSI/and get her on the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) list sooner as psychiatrist advised but it is so painful to do that. I did set limits and enforced them but her BPI went wild aroudn her 15th birthday. Compassion [/QUOTE]
