[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 382574, member: 8617"] Yeah, I checked the link, good stuff but nothing asap, you know?!?! I do have an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that we can work with but there is still a 3 week application period. The thing is though, he doesn't need that yet because he will have an alternate housing set up with my Mom and we have oodles of aftercare set up, enough to drown him in it. All I wanted was some time to make sure he is stable in reality not just minding his manners to escape. He's no dummy. This is a new medication afterall and we all know how long those take to settle in. I'm just disgusted with the system and maybe I'm being naive again and you guys who have traveled this road know the deal. I'm back to the same honeymoon then disaster period I get with difficult child only it isn't difficult child. It's every last expert, agency and service provider that promises us the moon, generally at our worst moments of desperation when we are ready to jump off a bridge. Just for a moment I want to cry because I am dumb enough to trust them and feel saved, feel a sense of relief like everything may be okay this time. Then as you all well know I am sure, they forget to call you, they suddenly lied about resources or are just plain useless in a plethora of colorful ways. Then, again, with not a single ounce of emotional reserve you have to fight a battle that even the experts can't win, ALONE. I am so sick to flippin' death of the rolodex of calls I have to make and the 10,000 question, on phone till arm and ear aches game. All they say is no, sorry, or call this number. Usually a number you already tried or that has the same lame "help". I should have known better. I wish I could upload a theme song to my life like people in movies. I need the Jaws song. That way I would have a constant reminder that danger was lurking and to never ever ever trust calm waters or put down my harpoon gun. I guess I better scramble to prepare for difficult child's arrival tomorrow, like it or not. Anyway, that's life. You all get it. I'm over it. If I didn't have an alligators thick and scaley skin I would be road kill squished under semi tires right now. I'm learning to have a healthy detachment from agencies. I'm tired of their lies, dissapointment and dysfunction. It's time I distance myself from them, lol. I am so glad I was blessed with a warped sense of humor and can actually find amusement in ironic tragedy. :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
