[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 234567, member: 1233"] Happy Early birthday to my Board Nephew! I hope PO acts on the recommendations, but I think pulling in GAL may be needed. My difficult child was in a psychiatric hospital that had a more "residential" feel than an acute psychiatric hospital. It was not his favorite experience, but I think it helped a whole lot. He was there for 4 months during the end of 6th grade. So that may actually be a good setting, you won't know until you check it out or try it. One thing I will say is to have a code word that sounds like everything is fine. It is ONLY to be used in dire emergencies, cases of abuse. I always think if you are prepared for it then the chances of it happening are lessened. Some phrase like "I wish I had my umbrella here, it might rain" or other innocuous phrase for him to use if abuse is happening. I am NOT saying it will, I know absolutely NOTHING, ZIP, ZILCH NADA about the facilities you are looking at. But I do believe in being prepared. Sending gentle hugs to you. I know the idea of him coming home is scary to you. I hope you realize that because his actions you DO qualify for help from a Domestic Violence Shelter - it is where I finally was able to come to terms with all we had gone through. And it is FREE. ALL of the services. Just remember we love you and are here with support anytime you need us. Hugs, honey! [/QUOTE]
