[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 261312, member: 7170"] Thank you Sharon, I think you hit it right with the crisis respite idea and when I talk to the case manager tomorrow (see her before support group) I am going to tell her again the urgent need for some respite, if respite not available to look for a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement (the rest of the family can't live like this anymore). I've been asking for months - currently they are trying to arrange for a home health aide to take Angel out 3 times a week for 3 hours (so she can work on social skills in the community and give me and Ms.12 a couple hours off); I thought we found a good one but she didn't show up for her orientation so it disqualified her. I don't know if I can hold it together while waiting for them to find another candidate for me to interview. Angel hit a crisis and ended up back in the psychiatric hospital about a month ago. They still don't have the medications right and if history repeats itself adjustments are going to come at a snails pace unless this kid is earning frequent flyer miles down at the crisis center. Guess I need to squeek a little louder if I want anyone to put some grease on this wheel. I pondered the idea of having her write sentences but sensibility tells me not to give Angel a dangerous weapon like a pencil when she is being difficult. Most people wouldn't think of a pencil as being dangerous but in light of the fact she burried one 2 inches into her brothers back once it is with her (he ate the last cookie). Obviously I've got to get control of Angel or her sister is going to start following in her footsteps then all hope will be lost. Ugh I'm so tired and burned out I kind of wish I could go away for a couple weeks of light sedation and R&R. Thanks again and if can you think of anything else while I'm looking for respite let me know because I really don't want Angel going to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Nancy [/QUOTE]
