[QUOTE="Red Chief, post: 333187, member: 8776"] Hi, and welcome from another new member. I wish I had some advice to give you. We are going thru much the same thing with my difficult child. There is a lot of good advise going around this board. I will definitely be monitoring this thread for ideas too! I can give a little advice though. This may be something you already know, or it might not pertain. Sometimes after a kid gets out of a hospital stay, they may express a desire to go back, especially after getting in trouble or having a break down. My daughter did that just yesterday; she's going to a daytime outpatient program and she intentionally had a temper tantrum trying to get admitted into the hospital. Normally, they would have admitted her, as they had to hold her down & sedate her. But her doctor didn't buy it. Her doctor explained that it is a common thing for kids to do because they find it easier to stay out of trouble in the controlled environment. So watch out for that. I'm not saying that you shouldn't take him back if he or you really feels it necessary, just beware if you seem to get a lot of requests to go back. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
