[QUOTE="klmno, post: 225662, member: 3699"] Thanks, Bran!! That could help a lot in the future! I don't know if this psychiatric hospital would do it but we do have another near me. I haven't been able to get difficult child in it in the past, but that was due to his legal situation. He might be able to get in it once he's off probation and I'm sure they would be able to do the medicaid route. It is a shame that people have to learn strategies and "tricks" to get their kids help. It's supposed to be the safety net that provides the path, but HA! That's one of my issues with our county mental health, and it has a reputation around here- they aren't used to dealing with warrior moms/dads, so they aren't really held accountable and they just intimidate people into thinking that if their method doesn't work, then it must be the family's fault. Never mind that their method is basicly to do nothing substantial. And the poor families that end up believing this...it is pitiful. One thing I have to say that shocked me- when difficult child started coming back to the house Thurs. evening, he saw the cops here. He knew I'd called them- because I told him I would- and difficult child is on probation. I was shocked that he still came into the yard and spoke with them rather than running. [/QUOTE]
