[QUOTE="louissa, post: 18157, member: 3456"] I have to apologise but I'm not sure what difficult child means, but I think you mean my daughter. She went to anger management counselling last year, it didn't help. She's had counselling in the past and hated it and refused to go back, the behaviours were manageable then, now however they are not. When we voiced our concerns to the social worker today, she said it was up to the doctor and that if he felt still that she was ready to go home, our insurance would not cover her remaining in the hospital. How he can spend minutes with her and not meet with the family so he can see her interactions and behaviour as we do puzzles me. She's telling him what he needs to hear and all we've had is a 5 minute phone call from him where he asked my permission to try her on zoloft. She was admitted last Friday night about midnight, they didn't do therapy over the weekend, just a couple of chats with her and then therapy sessions started on Monday as did the medication. They are a short term facility and have said that their job is to make her stable but not cure her. If she can't be around her sister without getting angry and agitated in a controlled situation with a social worker, I just don't understand how they can feel she's stable enough to be safe around her at home. She has an intake appointment next week and the social worker has said she is going to contact them and stress to them that the family needs as much support and assistance as they have available. Until then we really have no idea what is available, we are in southern nh. The school have been very helpful, they understand what is going on and are working with us. Her behaviour at school is less disruptive but she refuses to do homework and skips detentions and forges signatures. Last semester her math teacher said she missed at least 24 homeworks and had 8 detentions. When she's asked she says she didn't want to do it or couldn't be bothered. Also she recently changed friends and is around kids taking drugs and bringing in alcohol which she admitted to drinking last Thursday in school. The pediatrician is also a good support, but they really don't have the expertise to treat her. [/QUOTE]
