[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 310539, member: 1233"] This is so hard to go through as a Mom. On the shanked thing, what are the odds she overheard Matt saying something about it after one or another of his trips to jail? Or heard one of her sibs talk about being worried about it in regards to Matt? You are going to have to be firm with the psychiatric hospital. When Wiz was in parents did NOT get to talk to the psychiatrist. If you wanted to talk with the psychiatrist they flat out told you to move your child to a private psychiatric hospital and pay the full price. Otherwise just do what the nurse tells you to do. It didn't fly. I found that they had meetings with the psychiatrist and all the top staff one morning a week. They tried their best to deal with Wiz before I was there, or to keep me waiting until I would go away. After about 2-3 weeks they learned I would be there, even if they met at 5:30 am (the psychiatric hospital was almost 2 hours away) or if they kept me waiting until 10:30 or 11 am. THEN I asked for testing - oh the horrors of being an informed parent!!! Horrors THEY went through, not me. I just kept a couple of books in the car and let them change times on me all they wanted. I just didn't leave the waiting room AND I started talking to other parents about how to empower themselves and get the staff to take notice. When they noticed the rash of parents who were suddenly asking questions and making stinks about things they got me out of that waiting room ASAP. Do what you need to to let her stay. Unless you see signs of outright abuse you are going to have to let them at least try to help her. She has been on a downward spiral for a couple of years, based on your posts. She won't turn it around in a week or three. Lots of hugs. It is so hard to wait, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
