[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 149388, member: 393"] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B]Sharon, What Sharon (ldm) said. Sweetie, we lived through this with the tweedles - most specifically wm. The day to day stress on the entire family was horrendous. husband finally put his foot down - it was affecting his ability to work (he was let go of one position due to my calling for help; even with the crisis team & PCAs in here). It was affecting kt's emotional well being & it put both kt & myself physically at risk. I never wanted to get out of bed; there were times I would wake to wm leaning over me - just smiling that evil little smile of his. It would terrify me. I had to wake & immediately be "in charge". It was awful. wm's last psychiatric hospital admission lasted 6 almost 7 weeks. He was then transferred to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). As I refused to transport him, mental health care manager along with another big old SW transported wm. I followed & signed admittance papers & left for a week. You know most of this Sharon. You know this has taken a toll on you, husband & easy child. There may be a time that difficult child will be safe to be in the home again - there may not. However, difficult child is of an age that you need to get a handle on this NOW! He's no longer a "cute" little guy - he's about to hit puberty, if he hasn't already. It's hard to watch a child in a growing adult body with-o any impulse control & with violent tendencies. It's harder to live with. Screw the academics ~ difficult child isn't learning right now anyway. Or he isn't learning much. In home isn't going to help until, unless difficult child is stable. In home is only going to add another layer of stress in your home life. I've lived that one. I'm preaching to the choir I know. I apologize. Good luck today at your psychiatrist appointment.
