[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 128699"] Sharon - I'm so sorry you are having to endure this. I worry about you and easy child as well. Another thing I worry about...the longer maladaptive behavior continues, the harder it is to overcome. That's the case for most, if not all, of our kiddos and runs the gamut with our kids from turning inward to outward violence. It becomes the behavior they turn to when frustrated, stressed, angry, annoyed, or overly stimulated. He needs to be in a place where that can be redirected, guided and new coping behavior taught and learned. That takes time...it takes time to break old habits and learn new skills. It really doesn't matter if it's happening once a week or everyday. Once a week is too much. And you and your family deserve to be safe in your own home. My understanding is that most psychiatric hospital's these days are mostly urgent care. Once the immediate threat to oneself or others has passed, they discharge. I really think you're looking at Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I know how hard this is. I'm so sorry. (((((((hugs))))))) [/QUOTE]
