[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 203145, member: 1233"] Jan, I am so sorry. I know the feeling of not knowing what to do, of being so hurt, physically and emotionally, just beaten down. Sweetie, it is time to think about hospitalization. The level of violence is just too great, it is not fair that you have to live in fear, and you really MUST protect the others in the house, esp the pcs from him. No matter his age, this just CANNOT continue. Physical violence must not be tolerated. Call his doctor(s) today and tell them that the level of violence is so great that you need to have him evaluated/monitored/helped in a hospital setting. Call the behavioral health number on your insurance and see what facilities are covered. You also MUST make a safety plan, including having one of the other people in the home calling 911 to have difficult child transported to the hospital (preferably psychiatric hospital with pediatric ward/unit) by ambulance or police. YOU can't call during the rage because you have to keep him from getting to the pcs. Is there a neighbor nearby the pcs can go to during a rage? Or at the least a room with a lock on the door they can go to for an added degree of safety? I am so sorry. It stinks, hoovers really, to have to do all of this because your child is unstable. But you do. You will feel a sense of loss and sadness when making these plans, and probably frustration also. But you have to work through that, maybe get SO to help with some of the calls or teaching the pcs how to call 911 in case you are the only adult at home. Please remember we are here, no matter what. And we really care! (((((hugs))))) (and a gentle kiss for your wrist boo-boo!) Susie [/QUOTE]
