[QUOTE="Star*, post: 419253, member: 4964"] Weethreepeeps, Hi there! Louisiana doesn't have an out of home placement - but they will place him out of state if he is a danger to himself and others. He does fit that criteria. I would talk to his caseworker and explain that you have another child that is suffering PTSD and you need time to try to find suitable arrangements for her because she doesn't want to live with her brother. I wouldn't readliy offer that your sister in NC is willing to take her in either. This may be of some benefit to getting your son placed temporarily out of your home in a group home or other Residential Treatment Center (RTC) so he can get CONTINUED counseling and therapy - while you and your daughter seek counseling to deal with the trauma. - I would put it to the staff in that manner so that your family has a 'healing' time. Bringing him home in 7 days or so isn't enough time to sort out the EXTREME TRAUMA.....suffered. Perhaps stating it like that? And explaining you have NO FAMILY regionally to help - may get them to see this is an emergency - and will place him further out - even out of state. They did this with my son. As far as loving him? You will always love your children. There will be times (lots of times) that you will not like their behavior, and with good reason. No one says you have to like them. No one says you have to love them either, but there isn't any guilt for saying I don't like my kids behavior today. Keep that in mind - you can even say "I hate his behavior most of the time." - Maybe that will help you separate love, and like or hate and dislike. Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
