[QUOTE="jannie, post: 69639, member: 2074"] I wish there were more options, but unfortunately there aren't many out there. I'd contact some hospitals and and find out about agencies that offer respite. Maybe there is an organization that can send someone out to the home....Last spring we found an intensive outpaitent program which was from 4:30-7:00 pm three to five days a week. difficult child went there for about 12 weeks. It seemed to have an impact. Is he starting school tomorrow? Maybe the end of the summer and the start of the school year are getting to him. We had a rough evening ourselves....difficult child was upset so he decided to throw the basketball right at the window in our living room. Fortunately nothing broke....and rather than totally losing it which would totally escalate his behavior...we didn't make a big deal about it...but it is a BIG deal he can't throw basketball into GLASS !!! Thankfully he's asleep-- What is causing the rages? If your son is not stable I would think about his requests/demands etc and prioritize your responses of what is acceptable or not. Abilify really helps my son with his anger-- Sending hugs to you--hopefully tomorrow will be better [/QUOTE]
