[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 149383, member: 805"] Sharon, Hope the meeting goes well today and you are given some respite support, at the very, very least. The continual and increasing violence that you and the family live with is so wrong. I'm not sure how the in-home services can work to keep difficult child out of the phos when it seems something drastic has to change here. Seems like the ony [B]realistic [/B]option is longer term admission with total medication changes and intensive therapy (life skills and such). difficult child does not seem able to hold it together at school and home right now. I think one of the biggest factors I would look at, were I his parent, is how all this is affecting him. I cannot begin to understand how this affects the three of you. Living with all the stress and violence is beyond what I can imagine. But I wonder how difficult child feels about himself? How does he feel constantly being in trouble in school? How does he feel in the quite molments after he has struck out at you? I would wonder how his inability to maintain is looked at through his eyes. The sooner he is trully helped the sooner he is able to move forward. I don't imagine that finishing five or six weeks of school is really on par with getting him the help he needs. That's just my opinion. Sometimes when we are in the midst of something, it's hard to really see what is happening. Those of us that have known you and love you on this board see a child who has no ability to maintain, be part of a social group, and who shows tremendous aggression towards his mother. If difficult child were a easy child who did that once, he would pay extreme consquences. It does noone any good to "allow" him to continue in his violent tirades. It could cross the line any day and regrets will do no good. Please, please look into an admin in the better phos. It would appear that he would need to have all his medications taken away and start from scratch. Once he is somewhat stable, the real work can begin and perhaps he would continue to need to be away from home for awhile while he learns over how to be part of a family and the larger community. Wishing you, husband, and easy child strength and peace. Sharon [/QUOTE]
