[QUOTE="JKF, post: 453855, member: 12470"] Hi everyone! I just love you guys so much! Totally makes my day to know that there are people out there who understand and care! So sorry I haven't been on much but I've been so busy with life this week. Things are just crazy here! I just want to hide under my covers for a year or so and then maybe (just maybe) then I'll come out! lol Anyway, court is not until Friday but there have been some new developments. The first judge modified the order saying that he needs to leave psychiatric hospital and go to a less restrictive environment such as residential. DYFS is out of the picture because there is absolutely no neglect on our part and they can't legally do anything unless there is neglect. The CMO now agrees that difficult child needs to go directly to a PCR (Psychiatric Community Residence) and they are petitioning the court to hold difficult child in psychiatric hospital until a bed opens up. I received an email from the CMO supervisor today saying that at this point neither the shelter or home is an option anymore. On Friday we will go in front of a different judge (they rotate every two weeks). The CMO is fighting for him to stay in psychiatric hospital until a placement is found but the psychiatric hospital is fighting for him to be released because he's stable according to them. The clinician told me this whole thing is a mess and at this point it's strictly political. All I know is that everyone agrees that he can't come home at this point which is a relief! Also, I had a visit with difficult child last night and everything went well until he made a very disturbing comment to me. He said "what if I start a fire? what if I lock you and my brother in a room and then start a fire?" then he said "but I'll let step dad live". He wasn't upset when he said this. In fact his tone was as if he was joking but it totally freaked me out. I reported this to the psychiatric hospital and CMO today and it's on record that he's still having these thoughts. The psychiatric hospital is trying to make it into nothing because at this point they want him out of there but the CMO is using this to their advantage to show that he needs to stay until a placement is found. I'm still a little nervous about Friday but at this point with everyone recommending out of home placement I don't think the new judge will rule that I need to take him home with me. I just need to go there and be a broken record and plead my case once again! At least next week is vacation for the rest of our family! It will be sad without difficult child there but in a way I'm relieved. I was kind of dreading what might happen if he came with us! I will update you all on Friday!
