[QUOTE="Julie Y, post: 74784, member: 4063"] I really feel Akron left us high and dry. They wanted us to contact the Center in Mansfield. I did that even before she was discharged. They told me someone would call back, but nothing. So, when I picked her up, I set up camp in their lobby until they found someone that would speak with me. That was Aug 3rd. She did not get in for an evaluation until Aug 27. Then last week they finally return our calls and she has another evaluation with a psychiatrist on Oct 15. No one will consider medications. Akron will not renew her Prozac because they said she should have that done by her dr. THe Center won't do it because she still hasn't been seen by the dr. Last night was horrible. Their mom called after nothing for 2 weeks. (She won't give them her phone number or address. Says she is homeless)She wanted to pick them up tonight to spend time with them because she misses them. Unfortunately, I work late tonight, and since they cannot be left alone, they are in daycare until I or my husband gets done with work. Well the girls lost it. The older one Becky, eventually calmed down and understood that maybe it can be arranged for another day. But Rachel, 12yo, freaked out. Cussed us out, said we were keeping her from her mother. That is not the case at all. We tried to explain that maybe they could get together another night. But of course we have no way of contacting Mom to make arrangements. I am so tired of being the bad guy. She can waltz in after nothing for weeks and weeks, treat them like dirt and still be the hero. It is not a popularity contest, but I would just like to be treated like a human being with feelings too. My poor husband just doesn't know what to do anymore. He just constantly apologizes. [/QUOTE]
