[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 406115, member: 1233"] That makes sense. With Wiz it became an issue because he wanted to go to the psychiatric hospital for a "vacation" - conned us into it once and later we learned that it was just to meet up with a girl that he had met when he was in because he was dangerous. I made him work off part of the copay because it was not a needed medical service. I also told him he would have to pay the copays if he had to go to the hospital or ER because he was eating rotten meat. he would take an entire pound or two of frozen cooked beef from the fridge and keep it in his room to eat off of for 5 or 6 days and then be horribly, terribly sick with food poisoning. we did NOT ration food and there was PLENTY of food in the kitchen but we insisted he eat veggies and fruits and not just eat meat. At the time he wanted to eat ONLY protein and sugar. Meat and cheese by the pound and then either lots of cake/cookies/ice cream or sugar straight from the pantry. When we insisted that he had to eat fruits and veggies and whole grain bread and stopped keeping the cake/cookies and put the sugar up in a locked drawer he started taking meat from the freezer. The first three times we thought being sick was enough punishment, but he didn't stop. He didn't even keep it for a shorter period of time because he wanted to "punish" us by not letting us have meat. The boy was getting huge portions of meat at every meal (10-12 oz or more per meal) and there were meats and cheeses for snacks in the fridge, but we wanted him to eat other foods too. So we finally told him he would have to pay the $100 copay for the ER/hospital if we felt he had to go because food poisoning. The decision was NOT left up to him because he would have refused to go, but he was scaring us badly with this. I told him to start saving because he would have to hand it over when he got there and if he didn't have the $ to hand over he better stay out of the freezer. It worked - he did stop, but not with-o many tantrums when we would tell him to get out of the freezer area as we found him heading to it. I sure hope getting this thing out will be enough relief that he remembers not to ever try something like that again. I also hope it clears up a lot of his problems. If so, that huge price is a bargain! [/QUOTE]
