[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 353633, member: 3444"] Whatever is decided as the next step for difficult child, I would absolutely insist that he be stabilized on medications before he is released again. Failing that, I would ask about a partial day treatment program. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) may eventually be what he needs, but the medications HAVE to be straightened out or he's not going to make any kind of progress in any facet of his life. in my opinion it will just be setting him up for repeated psychiatric hospital visits. If they only half treat the problem, how can they expect him to make any gains? And how can YOU be expected to maintain any degree of energy or resiliency for dealing with him? You don't need a ping-pong game. (Geez, here come the sports metaphors)... you need a full-court press! I vote for you calling in sick and playing hookey, if only to sleep in and just spend some healing down time doing absolutely nothing. [/QUOTE]
