[QUOTE="Transparent, post: 224051, member: 6498"] husband and difficult child just left the new counselor's office. husband gave her the parent assessment that we made (thanks to this site) and she was sooo appreciative. She didn't get beyond the first page of it and said that she didn't think Celexa was the right medication for difficult child. She also suggested inpatient testing and gave us the name of a facility. She doesn't think depression is the issue either and says there's definitely something much deeper going on. She mentioned to difficult child about never taking responsibility and always blaming others. He didn't seem to think he did that nor did he think it was a big deal. (of course not!) I called the facility she suggested and they have a bed open for our difficult child. I called husband at work and told him but he's very hesitant at letting difficult child go again stating "I just got him back home". I know it's hard for him, it is for me too but I keep thinking along the lines of he's sick and he needs help NOW. The intake nurse didn't seem to think our difficult child was stable. I have to agree. I hate to agree. I don't know what to say to my husband to make it any easier. I tried calling the counselor back to see what she thought - if she thinks he needs to go now or if she thinks it could wait til after Christmas. My gut tells me to do it and get it done - my heart tells me to wait. The rest of me is crying. I wish the counselor would call back ... :whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
