[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 370203, member: 6546"] Thank you, everyone, for the advice... I emailed the doctor at 8:30 this morning. I used her email because she told me this is the best way to get in touch with her if it is really important.... As of now (5:30 pm) - I still have not heard back. husband and I have tried the emergency route with getting admitted to the pshosp many times before, and difficult child has only been hospitalzed three times. The other times, difficult child has put on her "angel act" and the counselors felt there was nothing going on that the regular, outpatient doctor couldn't handle. In my email message, I specifically asked the therapist to help us get her admitted somewhere. Marg-- In answer to your questions, yes, difficult child really does find humor in violence. She thinks her story is so hilarious because the characters in the story (her family) are so stupid and its their own fault that they die at the hands of the killer. difficult child cannot understand why nobody else finds it funny. And yes, you are right about the math. difficult child was more than 3 1/2 years old when DS was born. So really, the "bad thing" that he did that made her so mad but she can't remember what it was? it's likely the fact that he was born at all... TM-- I thought you had a good idea about residential camp for DS. I looked up a few places online... School starts here in three weeks, so pretty much everything is full and/or over with. We tried to get in touch with his best friend, but looks like that boy's family is out of town for a while. I didn't realize that CPS would more likely take DS instead of difficult child...I would much rather move somewhere WITH him, than let him go to a foster home. SRL-- I, too, thought domestic violence shelters would be a good resource. I couldn't find anything for my county listed online. I will have to make some phone calls tomorrow when I can get a moment on the phone without difficult child hovering around. Step-- Yes, scarily, we seem to be leading parallel lives right now. How come we can't be leading a parallel life with a lottery winner? Why isn't that an option? Janet-- Yes, I would think that "normal people" don't talk about killing other folks just because they're angry...but too many counselors we have encountered think it's no big deal. I truly don't understand this... PG-- This I don't understand. I have showed all kinds of counselors some of difficult child's past writings and they have all shrugged it off....none of them thought it was enough to have her hospitalized. I wonder what is different from your situation to mine? JJJ-- It hadn't occurred to me that difficult child might be hallucinating....but it would definitely explain a lot. I think the plan tonight is to have DS sleep in our bedroom. I am a very light sleeper (gosh, I wonder why? NOT)....and I know that if things go bad I could help DS out a window or whatever it takes. FW, Susie-- I will make more phone calls tomorrow to try and find out what the "magic words" are about convincing the ER that difficult child is a threat to others. I was really hoping that the doctor could help us get her in somewhere... Thank you! [/QUOTE]
