[QUOTE="mjhawks, post: 650949, member: 18841"] I would love for her to go to residential But before they will consider that option here, we must go though a series of hoops to see if it can be avoided. She currently has an inhome therapist, just got bumped up to 4 days a week. She's here for 2 hours at a time. On call 24 hours a day, which is nice. This is DQ's final step before residential. During yesterdays visit, when asked why she behaves like this at home, and not at school or with her therapist, she answered, "Because I can do what I want here. They're always going to be my family no matter what." I had to get her attention and look her dead in the face, "No, you WILL NOT always have us if you continue with your behaviors." It's well documented. She has been hospitalized twice for this. They keep her less than a week. This action is acute, so once the danger has passed they let her go. Yesterday I broke it down for her: If you hurt me, if you hurt your sister, I will have you arrested, and then I will call CPS and report you to them, because it's my job to protect Itty Bit. At that point I doubt you will have a home. [/QUOTE]
