[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 322990, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Terry, hon, the guilt will lessen. It really will. The anger will subside; you'll find the peace & calm you so crave. AND you will find mtg after mtg ~ given the economy & the medical insurance's refusal to pay for Residential Treatment Center (RTC). SD's are doing anything possible not to use that route; if it isn't happening at school it's not a concern to them. Saying all that, if/when difficult child lays one hand on you again call 911 & ask for transport of a mentally ill child to ER. This is serious stuff & you need to get him admitted to a psychiatric ward to get the ball rolling. You can't walk into any Residential Treatment Center (RTC) & just say I want my child placed - doesn't work that way. There are waiting lists a mile long. Again, saying the above, you have been assaulted. You can choose to press charges & go that route. See what the courts might do. You can check into voluntary foster placement (wm is in voluntary). In the meantime, difficult child needs to know the boundaries; your personal space is not to be infringed upon unless he asks - you have to give permission. This is for your safety & in some ways a consequence for difficult child. He needs to know he hurt you; needs to start learning that concept now. Sending you ((((hugs)))) & prayers for wisdom on your next step. This isn't for the faint of heart. We all get to our breaking point - we all learn to forgive our difficult children (tho we won't forget) & move on with our lives. Hopefully your difficult child will be able to keep up - learn the skills he needs so badly to survive in this world of ours. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
