I don't know what to do. My son is getting more and more out of control. He was in the hospital in November. He got out and was more stable, but his ODD seemed to be worse than ever. He is just escalating more and more. He left the school campus twice last week. He has done no school work since Christmas break. He is violent. He tells me that he hates me and wants to go to foster care. He is constantly running out of the house. He ran away and the police had to bring him home today.
I know some may say that the medications still arent right, but this is not BiPolar (BP) behavior> i know when my son is cycling or manic. This is different. He has always been defiant, but things are escalating to a new level.
I don't know what to do. My insurance won't pay for anymore inpatient days for 12 months. His therapist thinks he needs to see someone else because she can't get him to participate.
I am at my wit's end, and I dont' know which way to turn. My house is a living hell, and there are days that I wish his had never been born! I can't live like this forever. I don't really know what my options are, and I can't seem to find any encouraging information because residential treatment is so expensive.
Any ideas?
