[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 474750, member: 1514"] can I ask something? You say you moved, did you have any services where you lived before? If so, is it possible for you to have those records sent to this new social worker? I am hoping this is an option. If not then well, lets try and think of more options just in case it isnt. We know what your son has done in the hospital and that is available for this social worker to view as something not just coming from your words alone. The nurses saw him out of control. I dont think a sticker chart would have stopped him from shoving his pills down a nurses throat. What you need is to talk to the social worker at the hospital and get her input on what she knows about for community supports. While this outside sw maybe coming 6 hours a week, that does not mean that is all that is available. Its entirely possible there is more out there that you dont know about. However, this does remind me of when Cory was in his first psychiatric hospital and got his bipolar diagnosis. I knew we only had a very short admit time and was very no nonsense when I was in there for our family therapy. His father on the other hand was very compassionate towards Cory. I did say hi to Cory and gave him a hug and kiss but basically I just left him sitting in the chair and ignored him and put all my attention on the SW and started grilling her about what services we could get upon his release, if we could get partial hospitalization, day treatment, blah blah blah. His dad just sat there and let me do the talking because that is my forte. He just doesnt know all this stuff. The social worker just turned to Cory and said "how does it feel to know your mother doesnt love you enough to want you home?" I was livid! Then she told his father he should take Cory home and kick me out of the home!!!! Tony told her she was a fool. We checked Cory out of that hospital that day AMA. [/QUOTE]
