[QUOTE="nikiani, post: 599079, member: 16375"] Liahona, those are some very good ideas....I have tried to make some of our close friends aware of some of these situations with Ian..Like you said, a lot of people don't want to believe what we have to say....especially family members. But we feel that we HAVE to at least say some things so that when Ian does end up going to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (our hope) there isn't a huge confusion and bad feelings as to why. I'm sure there will be anyway, but we have to do what is best for everyone directly involved. I will have to look into the Medicaid and SSI....hopefully that may be an option for us as well. the last week has been rough with him and I'm dreading the rest of the summer. Ians social skills are perfect when he needs them to be or I should say, when it benefits him. One of our biggest concerns is that he will con and manipulate anyone involved being a therapist, case worker, etc.....he is SO good at it. The behavior book is an excellent idea as well. I believe in documenting things especially since we have been dealing with bio mom and had to keep things documented there anyway...I am going to buy alarms for the doors too....everyone seems to be saying that is a good idea. The 2 month old still sleeps with us an our 18 month old sleeps with us half the time. I think I may move her bed into our bedroom for the time being... The good thing is that I do have the support of a couple close friends who have spent extensive time with Ian and really seem to grasp what has been going on with him. I would say at minimum, we have 4 people who know EXACTLY whats going on and I'm hoping it will help us down the road if things start to get really bad. One of the hardest things is that he is not open and just blatant about how he does things...he is EXTREMELY sly, crafty, sneaky, and manipulative so the average person would never even be able to tell what he is or has been doing. I again, appreciate all of the comments and suggestions...We have had a lot of thinking to do over the last 2 days....not like it's anymore than we normally do....lol. [/QUOTE]
