[QUOTE="Andy, post: 174450, member: 5096"] Has difficult child already been assessed to meet the criteria of an in-patient? If not, explain to SO that in-patient is not always needed. There are other levels of care - out-patient, day programs. It is very difficult for a mom to place her child in an in-patient program. SO has been through so much that she view this as loosing a child instead of helping a child. Ask that she meet with someone just to discuss options and benefits of each. Maybe a day program where difficult child can be home at nights until SO gets comfortable with treatment plans. Your difficult child must feel confused. At this age, they are more willing to accept treatment. That 1st night will be the hardest - homesickness to no end but then they actually feel safe in an inpatient treatment - safe from their uncontrolled behavior and though they ask not to return, they do get strength to regain control of theirselves while there. Staff will teach coping skills. SO is very fortunate to have your support - not all people are as active in their SO's children's well being. [/QUOTE]
