[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 235844, member: 1233"] klmno, I am so very sorry. You sound so overwhelmed, and I am sure you must feel that way. I very much remember the feeling - unsure of whether I would be physically safe it my child came home, of if my child would be physically safe if he came home, unable to find ANY services to help that even approached a price range we could afford, being afraid that we would never find a way to help Wiz, and just totally having major depression, anxiety and PTSD. I remember what all you have been through. the one piece of advice I can give is to get the phone book and call a church. Ask them if they have any programs for mentally ill teens, or if the pastor/priest/reverend knows of any groups that have any programs that might fit this bill. Then call whomever they suggest, or call another church. The Catholic Church often has substantial resources, including funding help (when we had to refinance the house because the mortgage company messed up our mortgage, husband got a substantial grant from the Catholic Church here, largely because we had been through so much with Wiz). The Eagles (Fraternal Order of), and the Moose Lodge here also have resources and contacts. So did the counsellor at the elementary school and the resource officer at the jr high (police officer at the school who works to help kids in trouble, he had the most complete list of placement options that I have ever seen in this state - even our therapist hadn't seen half of the placement options on this list - and she had been around this community for over 15 years!). Just keep calling and telling your story to each person, and asking for your help. It is OK if you cry. They understand and will do their best to help. And I understand if you can't do this. It is just what I did when I felt I was out of options and that Wiz was once again a danger to us. I hope and pray this judge will help you. Or someone will. I am sending lots of prayers, hugs, luck and support. No matter what. Susie [/QUOTE]
