[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 277083, member: 5941"] From my own personal experience with a difficult child who was physically aggressive with his bio easy child sister, I am appalled that CPS told you that he would be worse off after a stint in the "boys home". They need to do their jobs and come up with something better than that. This child needs intensive inpatient therapy in a hospital or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) setting, a long-term one, preferably 12 to 18 months, to work on his deep-seated issues. It takes time. It doesn't matter that his bio mom made him like this. If he hurts easy child or another child again CPS will come after you and husband (but mostly you if you are the stay at home mom and abuse happens when dad is not there) and remove your vulnerable kids from the home, and you will have the charge of neglect hanging over your head. in my opinion, I think you need to get in husband's face and give him the ultimatum: if husband leaves for this new job, difficult child must be placed in a therpeutic setting outside the home, or you are taking your girls and leaving. Your stepson should be in a therapeutic setting regardless of who is custodial and whether your husband takes the new job, and as far as difficult child going with dad, how is he going to supervise a young teen when he's working? I apologize if this sounds harsh but I am very concerned for you, and I'm angry that you have to bear the brunt of the worry. I'm also ticked off that CPS is not fullfilling it's responsibility to make all your children safe, not just difficult child. [/QUOTE]
