[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 246381, member: 1233"] I am glad that she took time to go over everything and understand all the concerns. You really DO need to be very careful around him. Esp as you are disabled. If he makes it onto the path of relative maturity and happiness, then he will see that you are the ones who love him and fought for him. My 17yo finally started seeing this around the time of his 16th birthday. It was a long hard road. I think you may want to start looking at hospitals so that if something happens you know where to go, what is on your insurance plan, how to get there, etc... Please make a safety plan with your son for what is to happen if difficult child has a meltdown or starts to hurt himself or someone else. Then, when stepgfg is not around, PRACTICE the safety plan. Figure out how to get out of the house or locked into a room away from him. What number(s) to call for help. Where to go if he leaves the house. What to say when you call for help. Does your son have a cell phone or at least a cordless phone in his room so he can call for help if he is in there and difficult child starts to hurt him and he can't get out? It is something to think about. [/QUOTE]
