[QUOTE="jannie, post: 128932, member: 2074"] Sharon- So many people have given really good advice and suggestions. I don't have the answers, but I do know that you and your family have been suffering for a really long time...I understand you not wanting hospitalization and/or Residential Treatment Center (RTC), but I do feel something needs to change. Your difficult child is getting bigger and older...I feel for you and your family and also for him... Would the school ever consider an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) type program? I know that it is very very difficult in our school system to get this recommendation. Are there any day treatment programs available in your area? Perhaps this is something to consider, and after a bit of time, they may recommend something more intensive. Have you contacted children's hotpitals in the area to discuss the types of supports they offer? You can continue doing what you are doing, however it seems like it is more of just a band-aid then a real healing...maybe some really intensive interventions/changes in medication etc would really help. I sent difficult child to an intensive outpatient program for 2 1/2 hours per day 3-4 times per week for 10 weeks...it really helped....and difficult child was only 6 years old.... Sending hugs--:satisfied:I do hope things improve....And...I know how important it is for you and for difficult child to attend his wresting...and to think things were so bad that you did not allow it...which means...he's really crossing the lines.
