[QUOTE="ellenr1, post: 16229, member: 2547"] Hugs to you! We did the in-home family therapy with a pair of social workers that ended this past June, and although it didn't seem at the time that it had accomplished much more than keeping him out of the hospital and out of trouble with the law,our son really changed in the months just after we had finished, and he has been a different kid since school started. More mature, less irritable. I tell you one thing, he doesn't hit me or his sisters anymore after they helped us come up with a plan (I had to call the cops, it was awful, but he doesn't hit me anymore). I agree, it's hard to wait for someone to throw you a lifeline when you feel like you're going under for the third time. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this helps you like it did our family. A thought to keep in mind: no matter how much good an out of home placement might do, at some point that child comes home, andif the family dynamics haven't changed, you won't be able to keep enough structure in place to help that child break out of their destructive patterns.
