[QUOTE="Fran, post: 313020, member: 3"] A lot of things can happen between now and the day pass. There are things you can do something about and things you can't. This is one of those things that the system has to do in order to follow through with proper procedure. They have to try it even if it doesn't work. Your job is to continue the rules that are pre planned and approved. You can discuss with difficult child's case manager what to do when things go wrong. Have husband involved so he learns how to not escalate a bad situation. Work with the professionals to find a way to be prepared for both disaster and maybe even some success. No one is going to be able to force medications on a young man who is almost 17. He is to the point where he has the right to decide his own fate. It does seem crazy to give someone of any age the ability to decide when their thinking is disordered but it's the law. He is not incompetent. Hopefully, if he can improve over the next 3 wks he will realize he needs medications. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
