[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 370117, member: 6546"] I think difficult child has serious plans to hurt or kill her brother. I am trying to think of the best ways to protect him. So far, difficult child's docs are "keeping an eye" on her fantasies about killing the family. I sent an email first thing this morning that I think it has progressed beyond a fantasy to an actual plan....so now I have to wait and see whether they will take me seriously, or will blow it off. (as in [I]O Mom, you're over-reacting...everybody says things like that when they are angry[/I].) So, if the docs cannot get difficult child hospitalized somewhere for being a danger to others....what are my options? Police only come after the fact...or in light of concrete evidence. I don't have anything more concrete than difficult child's writings and Fb posts--not enough to arrest anybody. I cannot send either child to live with family: My parents - father is an alcoholic husband parents - father is a recovering alcohic attending court-ordered rehab, counseling and anger management classes for domestic violence Siblings - all of our siblings have children as young as toddlers--not safe for difficult child to be around them difficult child Friends - yeah, right. She doesn't have any close friends (much less friends that would let her move in with them...even short-term). So--I feel like I can pack a bag and figure out a new place for DS and I to live until it is safe to come back home. I know I can stay with my sister for a weekend...maybe a few days more....but she cannot take us in for any length of time. I have no job. husband's job can barely support one household, much less pay for another place...even a motel stay would be financial disaster. So what do I do? If I'm being unreasonable...please tell me. I feel like I am going out of my mind... [/QUOTE]
