[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 238808, member: 1157"] Sigh. I'm not surprised at the in-home offer vs. Residential Treatment Center (RTC). As I've said, we had to go through multiple steps to get to Residential Treatment Center (RTC).. it took months. I do want to say that in-home doesn't, or shouldn't put any additional demands on you ... but based on what you've been through so far, I completely get why it may end up that way, anyway. It all depends on the therapist they give you. I thinkyou've got nothing to lose by taking it. You're no worse off than you are now. Try the psychiatrist I suggested, if you can. She's awesome, although I can't guarantee she'll take new patients, either. Worth a phone call, at least, to check. I wish I knew what more to tell you about all this. How incredibly discouraging. For now, keep yourself and difficult child safe. If you need to call 911, call 911. If he has to go back in the hospital, so be it. Copays are awful I know.. but you can pay on those in small amounts. Apply for the financial aid they offer. Our counties are facing huge budget cuts, as I know you know . It's not going to get any easier, even if he goes into foster care. Please call the U of R law clinic before you make any drastic choices, if nothing else, and see if your story will get someone there to help you. [/QUOTE]
