[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 246827, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Hi & welcome. I cannot "fix" your difficult child no one can "fix" your difficult child; cannot promise it will always be okay. Mental illness & children are a harsh combination & parents struggle daily to advocate for their young ones. The best one can do is achieve stability for our young ones. Having said that, it sounds like you've been given the usual advice as to the neuropysch evaluations. This will, at the very least, give you a map of sorts on difficult children treatment plan. It's an invaluable tool. When I was at the point you are right now with my tweedles I had to sit down & prioritize my concerns. Not an easy task as in my mind it seemed to change daily. My main concerns for kt or wm was health & safety (medication compliance, self injurous behaviors, impulsivity & the inability to discern safe or unsafe persons or situations). Those were the items we worked on - one at a time. I have a mental health care team for each of my difficult children (gifts from God - the children who bring us here). Through county mental health I have a health care manager, CADI manager (manages the in home services), therapist, psychiatrist, Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) manager, personal care attendants, etc. Those teams were long fought for & took time & patience to put together. Additionally, everyone is on the same page with my parenting beliefs. If your young one is still self injuring the number one priority is stabilization. Take this one day at a time. One hour at a time. Don't look ahead to your child's college days or high school right now. Stay focused on the here & now. Sending positive thoughts & white light with ((((hugs)))).
