[QUOTE="sls0308, post: 209056, member: 6228"] Thanks for all the help and support. Health was generally good except for a bout of Meningitis when he was 6 weeks old. School- Has never done real well. Friends...hard to make and harder to keep. Only 1 friend has stuck by him for several years. He has always been a difficult & manipulative child but I guess after 16 years of it, it is taking its toll on me. ( I had to go on antidepressants myself, in the last few months) As far as the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF), he was there 8 days, but I am confused why they released too. I know insurance may have been a factor as I was told the insurance doctor has called the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) and after that I was told there was nothing they could do there for him. He has been violent with family (including me) and others. The psychiatrist told me he was not suicidal but was homicidal. That is why when they released him, I felt like I had no choice but to have him placed back in the hall, for everyone's safety. But trust me, that was really the last thing I wanted to do, but felt I had no choice. I hope he is not going to be in there too long and by then, finding some help. The judge did state today that he was ordering another, independent psychiatric evaluation. But that was after I have pretty much begged & screamed at every agency in the county for help including CPS for at least 2 weeks now (on a daily basis). I live in a small rural county and getting services here sometimes is like pulling teeth. I have ordered the "Explosive Child" and it should be here tomorrow. I ordered it last week when I first found this sight and looking forward to reading it. Thanks for all the support Stef :sad-very: [/QUOTE]
