[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 392176, member: 1991"] I would also request a repeat meeting with "the team" or preferably, the team's bosses, and go through these practicalities with them. Make sure they realise you know your rights as well as your responsibilities. Make it clear that all you MUST provide is not going to be enough for this difficult child and is way less than they have insisted you provide. Ask them to step in personally to help make up the difference. Of course, this comes with personal responsibility for what difficult child will do with the extra rope they want her to have... Then after they have finished choking, ask them NOW for some PRACTICAL support. And if they say they can't provide it, ask them who will. Then ask them which congressmen or which media network is likely to give you the most coverage on this appalling lack of services. They were playing on your sense of guilt and concern. Unfair and inappropriate. You asked for help; they made you feel guilty and bullied you into agreeing to stuff you can't do. So make it clear - you won't. And it is their responsibility if you cannot cope, because you asked them for help and they did not give you what you needed. difficult child needs a diagnosis and she needs treatment for it. If she has made it clear that she will harm herself and possibly others if she is sent home, and yet they intend to send her home, than ask them to put in writing that they will take responsibility if this happens. Use this as your leverage. Be prepared to be hard and stand your ground. You are going to have to do this with difficult child so you may as well begin now, with the team. Marg [/QUOTE]
