[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 111720"] JJJ - I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can certainly understand the need for the rules and changes you've had to put into place. I also understand how it breaks your heart to have to do that. When easy child was 10 and was diagnosis'd with severe depression, he was very hostile. Towards me it was with words, but I could tell he was barely restraining himself physically. Everyday I was thankful that he was only 10 because if he was the size he is now, I would have been afraid for my safety. I worried as it was. However, he was violent with difficult child who was 7 at the time. I came downstairs to screaming and difficult child had red marks around her neck where easy child had been choking her. I was brand new to all of this stuff and felt way out of my league and had no idea what to do. It wasn't until I told therapist about it and he asked me why I didn't call the police that I even considered that possibility. It just simply never occurred to me. I never left them unsupervised after that and did tell easy child that if he laid a hand on her again that I would call the police...explained domestic violence to him and the laws. That's a long stretch from having your child in a psychiatric hospital and/or Residential Treatment Center (RTC), I know. But I know just how heartbreaking all of this is and the need to protect everyone else. It really stinks. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
