[QUOTE="klmno, post: 239852, member: 3699"] I know, I'm mulling that over. Of course, the psychiatric hospital, psychiatrist, and therapist have them all. Well, psychiatrist doesn't realize extent of damage to house probably, but that's because our time ran out yesterday. SD and PO knows all except difficult child holding knife at my throat. The sd knows more than the PO about how I'm actually living. This PO may be in a position of authority, but she reallyy is not knowledgable enough about mental illness (she rolls her eyes if I discuss mood cycling for instance) and cannot handle things well enough and is truthfully biased. Her super does not seem that way, for the most part. The letter from sw at psychiatric hospital says in home first, then psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for medication stabilization. They all do know that difficult child had waived a knife around and pointed it at me before. Most immediately wanted to just punish difficult child for that and forget any mental health treatment- it was all a behavior issue. Some of these people are very unfamiliar with mental illness in general, and want to look for a person to blame- me or difficult child- and with his suspended sentence, I have been scared to death of some of them. Plus, like PO is always holding it over my head so the last thing I want is to give her more ammunition. I went to a therapist by myself and laid everything on the table and have been following her advice. It's like when you take your kid to the psychiatric hospital- you let the sd know, but the sd doesn't need to know every detail discussed with psychiatric hospital staff. The original appraoch was to go thru county team, with minimal Department of Juvenile Justice involvement, so that I could lay it all on the table. It didn't work out that way so now I have to try to do this in a way that gets mental health care instead of landing my son in state juvy. I'm very glad that someone from Department of Juvenile Justice besides the PO has gotten involved. I'm sorting thru info and listing needs etc to call and check places out. I have 3 on my list so far. But now I'm thinking, shoulld I ask super to meet with me and a person from one of these agencies, so I can lay it all out on the table and see what they think? [/QUOTE]
