[QUOTE="katya02, post: 394463, member: 2884"] Is there anything in the way of Wrap-Around family services where you are? If you approached your county family services unit, I think you would qualify. It would also be a way to access family counseling and other services. We had Wrap-Around for awhile, when difficult child 1 was very out of control. I wasn't allowed to go shopping and leave the TSS with difficult child 1 alone, but rules vary in different places. Sometimes people can get a TSS to work with their child or just be present, and allow the parent to go and do necessary errands. You need some way to go out by yourself. What if you have to see your doctor, or something else your son shouldn't be along for? It would be worth looking and trying to access this sort of help, especially as a single parent. You have no backup and you need some. If that came through for you, at least you could shop in peace. And your son, if he acted up around the TSS/respite person, would leave more of a paper trail and access more services. I'm very glad you were able to contact the county police and get some support! Good work! Now you will have some confidence in laying down some boundaries and enforcing them. Thank goodness! [/QUOTE]
