[QUOTE="slsh, post: 407193, member: 8"] As the others have said, you did *absolutely* the right thing. My son was extremely violent for years, and I called 911 for transport to hospital rather frequently. You really have no other choice - it is a matter of safety, both yours and your child's. As far as your family being furious with you, well.... ok. Were they there to help you out? At what point would it not anger them - do you have to wait until blood is drawn? Sometimes our interactions with- our kids can provoke them, but sometimes just my mere existence was enough to send my son completely over the edge. Don't you feel guilty for protecting yourself, please. How much more traumatic would it have been for her if she had seriously injured you? I don't think our raging kids every really intend to hurt us, but... when they are that out of control, it's really easy to get hurt. You are allowed to be safe in your own home. Sorry ER staff was less than helpful - hopefully you and psychiatrist/therapist can brainstorm and come up with a crisis plan, but I honestly don't believe you should ever take calling 911 out of the plan if you have no way to safely contain your kiddo. Hugs! [/QUOTE]
