[QUOTE="klmno, post: 233493, member: 3699"] psychiatrist from psychiatric hospital just called. He discussed medications and debated out loud about adding seroquel or abilify to the lithobid and tegretol. I told him I don't mind adding seroquel. He went with abilify instead. I told him point blank that I think difficult child needs to go to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) at this point. He said we'd discuss it a t family meeting. He's never at the family meeting. Oh, well. I'll be discussing it then anyway. This psychiatrist hears difficult child's version of things, which of course is minimized, then he downplays that. So to listen to him, there's hardly any problem at all. I'm learning to speak up quick and let him know that there is more to it and this isn't the first time this has happened and it's getting worse. difficult child is telling all of them up there that the issue is that he was craving cigarettes. in my humble opinion, that is NOT the issue. The issue is the knife in my face. I don't care if he was starving for food, that does not justify what he did and anyone who lets difficult child turn the focus onto his "craving for cigs" is only reinforcing an idea that the aggression was understandable. I called court's clerk to ask status of my request and to see if I can bring written recommendations from therapist and psychiatrist. She said "hold on" and the next thing you know, I'm having to leave a voice mail for someone who didn't even identify her position on her message so I have no idea if I was even transferred to the right place. I might have to make another trip down there. [/QUOTE]
