[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 399653, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]First, I'd like to welcome you. Second, you have my heartfelt support in whatever choice you need to make for the safety of your family & your difficult child son. These decisions humble us more than anyone can know. Please know that just calling CPS isn't going to get an immediate response. You will need to have documentation of the hx of threats, abuse & whatnot. difficult children psychiatrist & therapist will need to be involved in the documentation process stating that your difficult child is unstable to the point of hurting others/himself. In the meantime, put a safety plan in place. Do you have access to a crisis team in your area? If so ask them to be on the alert to your difficult children behaviors & have a crisis plan set up. When do you call, who do you call. My son wm cannot live with us physically; I'm still his guardian/parent tho he is not in my physical custody. We set up our line in the sand; our decision on keeping our little family safe. wm was given the safety/crisis plan ~ he knew what the line in the sand was to have him removed physically & he stepped over it. Again, this takes time & you seem to be in crisis mode. Each & every time your difficult child is unsafe/unstable dial 911 to have a mentally ill/unstable child transported to the nearest ER for treatment. Ask them to come with-o sirens. I've done it many times here & will do it again (for kt) if necessary. You can cry, worry, whatever about it after the danger is removed from your home. Good luck & please keep us updated. This is a big step for you ~ there will be physical & emotional repercussions to the decision to have your difficult child removed from the family. In the long run it's been the best decision I've made for my wm. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
