[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 195538, member: 3626"] I worry far more about you than I do Matt. You have had so much happen in a very short span of time. Matt very well may become violent. I don't think he will self-harm -- like my daughter, he's a survivor and has very good self-preservation instincts. Getting in a fight with counselors or group mates I could see. But I do understand and empathize wth your fears. been there done that. Hopefully, the ed consultant will help you find a place for Matt and he'll be smart enough to stick it out even when 18. Right now, though, you need to take care of YOU. You can't help Matt or anyone else with the way your life is going right now. There is so very much on your plate and you've had no time to recover from one pain when a new one starts. I know money is tight for you, but if you can find a way to take a few days for yourself, please do it. If nothing else, maybe turning your home into a mini spa (candles, soft music, warm baths, no phones, news, etc.) on your next day off will help a little. I'm hoping you have a therapist (sorry, can't remember) that you can talk to and be a good sounding board for you. We may not always give you the answers you want, but we're always here for you. Take care of you, please. [/QUOTE]
