[QUOTE="OTE, post: 738529"] Hopefully someone will move this from Special Education to general forum Sorry that I see this differently. Hhat... Yes, take care of yourself first. No question. This is going to sound harsh and I apologize for that....but I want you to re-think your life. I wonder if maybe you need a wake-up call She is 15 and cognitively normal. She knows that she has taken the sibs away from you. She intentionally destroys property and is abusive. How long are you going to let her do this to you? Why are you letting her victimize you? Yes, she's angry and frustrated. Why do you let her take it out on you? What does she think is going to happen when she's 18? Are you going to put her in some sort of group home at 18? Does she know you can now? Does she love her sibs and want them to love her? She's a teen now and needs to make choices for her life. Where does she want to be? At what point can she control her behavior? Will she choose to control it if SHE's going to lose her home? She doesn't choose to control it so her sibs can live in their home. Will she do so for her own? What does she care about? What will she do to keep it? I was forced to let mine destroy my life and his sibs life till he was 18. I made it clear to him that the day he turned 18 it was over. As it worked out, it was due to a rage at 1 a m the morning of his bd that I had him removed. He's 28 now and accepts responsibility for himself. His behavior is somewhat better and certainly fine to his sibs and I. My point is that you have not referred to any boundaries. While it may be horribly difficult to do, you can have her removed. Physical disability does not preclude her from a psychiatric placement. Have you reviewed your options with the professionals involved? Are you sacrificing your mental health? Sorry but maybe you need to re-think and look at new options on everyone's behalf. And yes, I lost my career with all those calls to come get him. In my case from police. The school ones ended in middle school with alternative school placements. [/QUOTE]
