[QUOTE="WSM, post: 275102, member: 5169"] Thank you, the therapist says the school needs to know because long term residential care could be funded by the school district and perhaps even by the criminal justice system. The people at the school already sit around and talk about husband and me like dirt because difficult child goes to school and talks contually about how we 'torture' him, abuse him, starve him, bully him, etc... In fact it was so bad, the staff was treating daughter oddly (fortunately district lines were redrawn and next year she's going to a new and better school, one difficult child has never stepped foot in--yay!). In dysfunctional families image control and information control is crucial. husband still does that. If you clean up the rat poop continually and quickly and then lie about it, of course there isn't a rat living in your pantry. There's a lot that difficult child has done that husband has hidden from me and lied about, and truthfully there's a lot I know he's done I haven't bothered to tell husband because it seems like picking on difficult child or seems trivial or might not be believable. For example, about a week and a half ago I went to get difficult child for dinner and he was lying on his bed. "Dinner". difficult child sat up and said a bunch of gibberish, disjointed syllabols with a couple of words thrown in. Two of the words were 'sister' and 'door'. I said: "What?" He said: "What? What!" but he wasn't mocking me. He was saying it in query like I was. I said: "What did you say?" and looked into a blank unseeing face. As I watched him, he 'came to', focused and after a few long seconds said: "I don't know what I said." But I could tell he felt 'caught' and was maybe a little embarassed. If I told husband, he'd say, I was making too much out of it, I don't like difficult child, why don't I leave him alone and not 'interrogate' him, difficult child was half asleep and not aware of what he was saying, or just say nothing and wait for the topic to change. Or it might have been the edges of a psychosis. (It might have been a half asleep state too). But it was weird, and difficult child didn't like that I caught him at it. (as far as I know he does not talk to himself). So I said nothing. I would have said something to the therapist had the subject come up, but the therapist had already decided difficult child was very, very disturbed and needed immediate treatment, and the therapist is suspicious about difficult child hearing voices. This is very very hard. I have been having waves of intense anger all morning, followed by a sense of freedom. [/QUOTE]
