[QUOTE="klmno, post: 229783, member: 3699"] Thanks everyone- I need to try to get either the school or the PO to recommend the county team first thing this week- I'm in a financial crisis and difficult child isn't stable so I need some help here. The school being able to get something moving is a long-shot. The PO could, but it's a long shot that she will. I'm going to call difficult child's therapist tomorrow and fill him in on this past week and see if he'd write a letter recommending that I get some help. Also, I think I'll ask him about maybe just speaking with a psychiatrist in his office to see what he thinks. This therapist is still relatively new with us so he has not even seen difficult child in stable mode yet. That concerns me a little because a psychiatrist then would not get much history about difficult child. I have to figure out how to word things to the PO then possibly just put a request in to see if the judge will have an admin hearing. On the brighter side- the kid that I don;t like difficult child hanging around (A) was out of town until yesterday. Today, I happened to remember that A was back in town and difficult child was quiet- I jumped up to see where he was and saw him right before he snuck out the door. I told him he needed to stay home- he cannot hang around that kid- or I will call and report him for not obeying house rules while on probation. He ranted and raved, then we talked about the need for friends and he doesn't have any others. Yes, that's true, but you won;t get any others and turn this around by hanging out with another kid that has a bad reputation just like you. Anyway, he calmed a bit, went to his room, spent time on the computer, and basicly had major mood swings all day- from one extreme to the other. But, no physical aggression, no hitting walls, etc. He stayed in!! I told him if he goes to school every day for next 2 weeks, he can have a friend spend the night the Sat before his b-day (that is 2 weeks from yesterday). This would be his best friend from our old neighborhood a few years ago. He called and left a message for that boy- he hasn't called him back. He doesn't call him back, hardly ever anymore, so I'm a little worried. However, difficult child does need to start accepting that he shouldn't be telling PO and therapist, etc that I won't let him hang out with ANY friends, when the truth is that it's only one friend and that I will let him hang out with a few if I know them but they aren't coming around anymore. difficult child just doesn't want to tell people that he has no decent friends right now. It breaks my heart, too, but I wish he'd come to see that he needs to change some things because currently, he's just digging himself in deeper with other kids. [/QUOTE]
