[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 282896, member: 23"] Heartbreaking. Fact: Based on what you've written, this child cannot be cared for in the home setting. No matter how hard you try, parents with a child with-this level of illness can not be "on" 24/7 . Fact: He's dangerous. Other family members must be protected. Hard as it is, he needs to be in a locked facility where he can get the help he needs. Not what parents want to hear, I know. So very sorry. Hope you and the child's mom visit us often. It helps just to talk about it with-parents who are also in the trenches with-mentally ill children. by the way, just my $0.02 worth, but it's highly unlikely bipolar is the only thing going on. There is typically at least one other disorder that co-exists. [/QUOTE]
