[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 405554, member: 1233"] I am sorry. SOunds like a rough weekend. Is she able to control herself with-o medications? Not everyone can. On weekends when Wiz had to go unmedicated we did what we could to put no expectations or demands on him but basic ones. But my kids wouldn't DARE to tell me I was trespassing in their rooms. They knew, and know, that they can think of them as their rooms but they do NOT own ANYTHING - husband and I do. If they want to use them and enjoy them, they have to take care of them, clean them, etc. Physically hurting me over going through their stuff would eman that I would clean anything that I don't want them to have out of their rooms when they are at school. Period. Call for transport to a psychiatric hospital next time she is violent and have her taken there. It is NEVER okay to hurt someone - PERIOD. You also may want to remove her door or lock her out of her room until she can behave more appropriately. medications or not, going off on you and leaving you bruised and hurting is NOT ACCEPTABLE. MAybe if the insurance has to cover a trip to the psychiatric hospital then they will be more willing to pay for her medications. Have you ever done "Stop the World"? Meaning that everything stops for her if she hurts someone - all privileges are lost and she can sit at the table until bedtime, or stay in her room with no tv, computer, electronics except for soothing music (classical is often good). Somehow you and husband need to get it through to her that regardless of the reason she just is NOT going to be allowed to hurt you - period. Also call the therapist and psychiatrist at their emergency numbers - it is why they have them. If you call the office # it will have directions to get ahold of the doctor in an emergency. Go ahead and do it about the violence, and again if it happens again. It will help them give the insurance co reasons why she needs teh medications - and will motivate them because they will want her stable so you don't call on the weekends! [/QUOTE]
