[QUOTE="klmno, post: 225225, member: 3699"] Thanks, MB! I liked your description of teenagers- that gave me a chuckle!! I don't think difficult child is ready to come home either. But, I don't know where this is going to lead. Insurance will only cover an acute stay, and this psychiatric hospital is only for acute situations anyway (in the child/adolescent ward). Since difficult child is still talking about these friends, how much sugar he's eating (when he isn't stable he eats HOARDS of sugar- sometimes even straight), and the other stuff I already mentioned, it tells me that he's sending a message loud and clear. Basicly, I call it self-medicating even though it isn't with alcohol or an illegal substance - YET. I just hope that I can have a productive talk with the regular social worker there tomorrow- and I think she'll call because they are wanting to discharge him tomorrow or Tuesday. They have to have a discharge plan in place first though. I am telling them that the therapist and psychiatrist appts are in place- but they are not sufficient right now. We (I) need more help. Period. [/QUOTE]
