[QUOTE="klmno, post: 239865, member: 3699"] Ok, but then what do I do about the fact that I can't work full time and maintain everything while giving that a chance and continuing to pput all the time and energy into giving difficult child the best care and exploring every opportunity. For instance, there are more upcoming meetings at school, difficult child will now be having a sleep study. I do WANT to explore these things. But I don't have the resources to keep covering all this as thoroughly as I have been for the past 2 years. I can't think of a solution that meets all those needs- that's why I think I need a brainstorming session with someone in the know. I did do this with my therapist and she said shoot for psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC)- they can spend a great deal of time doing what is needed to cover difficult child's needs and keep him safe and get him stable, plus it does give difficult child a consequence for the violence toward me, without jeopardizing his future like state juvy would. And, it would give me time to get back on my feet, get at least some of the house repaired and give us a much needed break from each other so we could break any negative cycles and still work on family issues by me attending sessions with him while he's in there. Plus, difficult child would be getting at least a little education. She said we would be looking at 2-3 mos probably- and sw at psychiatric hospital said the same thing. Then, sw pretty much had to change their recommendation to in home first, then Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because she couldn't find funding to support Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and she spoke with difficult child's therapist. I thought asking the super to attend a brainstorming session would let him know that I was sincerely trying and let him know more specifics about the various stresses/problems. But, I see your point, DDD. Maybe I should try to line up a meeting with a person from a place just for myself and call and invite the super if he would like to attend. Because, if I lay all this out and they (the service provider) says they recommend Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or they can'typical teen provide what I'm asking, I dono't want my "requests" to go thru various people back to super and anyone left thinking that my requests are just unreasonable. They may be unreasonable- but I think it's because there are more problems here than one provider can cover. You know, I don't have to have respite, it would be nice, but I can live without it. I do have to worry about this large check I have to go turn into today to cover another month of medication insurance. [/QUOTE]
