[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 145452, member: 1233"] It is hard to treat behaviors they do not see. I have been there done that. With my son they wanted to send him home from the psychiatric hospital and he was a danger to us. I thought long and hard about what to do. I then went into the therapy session and triggered him. I pushed every single button he had. I felt horrible doing it. My difficult child was a danger to my younger 2 children. He had honeymooned for 6 weeks at that point. I let the therapist know what I intended to do. She didn't disagree, they were all very frustrated because he clearly had some problems, and he was the only child there with family willing/able to be there every single week for visits and therapy. We found out a LOT, it was a hideously rough day, and after that he was his "real" self in the psychiatric hospital. This is NOT magic. I did NOT receive any recommendations to do this from anyone. I was simply at my wits end and terrified he would kill one of us if the psychiatric hospital couldn't help him. I realize you are NOT at that place. But I watned to let you know what I did. It was a HUGE risk, I truly did NOT know how he would react. I owuld NEVER do that normally. Susie [/QUOTE]
