[QUOTE="pajamas, post: 632633, member: 13499"] It's been a long time since I've been here. My signature is 2 years out of date! (can someone can tell me where to change it in the new interface?) CeCe is 17.4 years now and currently in hospital after heading for the kitchen knives to resolve a problem with Huck. He was the trigger, the real cause (I believe) was school anxiety - she was scheduled to start a new program tomorrow. Her violence has been escalating although she hasn't seriously followed through. Yet? Skipping the long history (available on request), I'm looking for advice on what others had (successfully?) done when difficult children came of age. Her psychiatrist recommends that we try again for SSI (which we will do) and plan for a personal care home - which also came up with the hospital social services. Does anyone have experience with finding placements for young adults? other advice for the transition? It doesn't look like appropriate homes are easy to find, or affordable - and we are not in a position to commit our retirement to securing her care. Thanks for your thoughts ... (welcome specific suggestions from anyone in Atlanta via PM) [/QUOTE]
