[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 136961"] Thank you all so very much. With all the reading I have done here, I can really feel the support and caring from everyone. I just found out this morning (haven't heard from the hospital yet though) that there is Residential Treatment Center (RTC) benefits under my insurance through work. My son is on 40mg Prozac and 25mg a.m. and 50mg p.m. of Seroquel. My son actually did seem some improvement after being on Prozac. In fact there were some behaviors that were there before the Prozac that we are not seeing now. But others are worse now. As far as the mood stabilizer, I am not sure yet what the doctor is wanting to do, he said he would get back to me on that. I doubt under the circumstances that he would want to wean him while he is at home, but you never know. I am not taking the idea of putting difficult child in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) lightly at all. I am thinking not only the intensive help he can receive there (and needs), but also how all of this is affecting my daughter and me too. difficult child targets my daughter a lot of the time too. He has actually threatened her with a knife before. He has told her before that someday she would wake up dead. This was BEFORE he was on the Prozac. Now he hasn't threatened her physically, he has told her she should just die and get out of his life. There is no AFTER difficult child goes to bed. Like last night I told him it was bedtime and he proceeded to launch into a yelling fit that what was it to me whether he got any sleep or not and that he wasn't going to go to bed and that I had better stop getting after him or he was going to blow. This went on for little while with me ending up leaving him in his room (after telling him that yes he was going lay down even if he wasn't asleep), he was laying in bed. I went into my room to change into pj's and he left his room. Meantime, my daughter got tired of hearing what was going on and took out of the house. I called her cell and she was actually down the street (it was between 9:30 and 9:45pm). I told her that she had to come back, that it wasn't safe. If she wanted to stand on the porch or go on the patio that was fine, but she couldn't be down the street. She came back storming in saying how she couldn't handle this anymore and he is ruining her life and she just can't handle it anymore hearing us go back and forth. The stress that I am going through as you all know because you are dealing with difficult child's too is tremendous. It is affecting my health. I believe that if difficult child is getting the intensive help he needs outside of the home, then my daughter and I can work on ourselves as well. Ok, so it's time to actually get some work done here at work, as well as await the phone calls that I am waiting for. Again, thanks for all the support. Christy [/QUOTE]
