[QUOTE="buddy, post: 514170, member: 12886"] Hi and welcome. This is not my parenting experience area but I wanted you to know that you have no more reason to feel alone and ashamed. You have friends here who understand and though my son does not drink, he does hit me and swear at me and just last night I thought, wow....if there was a program out there that would keep him (no program would tolerate this and an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) woudl be the ruin of him due to his brain injury issues...he would enjoy learning all the naughty stuff he could learn)... I'd love the break. It is unbelievable she would hold you down and beat you like that. One thing people here have recommended in the past is to call a domestic violence line. She is abusing you. You might only be able to get help (I get the single mom, low money thing) by calling cps if you have other kids who can be in danger because she is violent (even seeing their mother abused is NOT ok). There are voluntary programs in cps. I have a case manager not through cps but through the county...some counties offer case management and help you get connected with funding and programs. YOu can call the county department of human services to see what options are there that match your situation, especially if you are losing your insurance. I do not have insurance but there are programs that keep my son insured. Since she has had a diagnosis for a long time, there may be mental health programs through your county that will provide funding, therapy, rehab, etc. Again, welcome and I know the parents who have walked/are walking this road will be along shortly. Take a breath and know we really do understand. [/QUOTE]
