[QUOTE="slsh, post: 164365, member: 8"] My goodness!!! Knowing how frustrating and time consuming these phone calls can be, may I just say....:yourock::warrior: I'm truly sorry you got the run around, or no help (same thing in my book). Have to wonder how on earth mental illness isn't a disability but that's a topic for another day. ;) I had a conversation with Timer Lady today. She educated me about the challenges she faced when it came to her own kids behaviors and how incredibly difficult it was to get professionals on board. I was so completely clueless. I have to apologize if my tone in your first post was out of line - I honestly had no idea of the challenges that you and others face in being heard when it comes to these kinds of behaviors. It simply boggles my mind that any healthcare professional would not see that there's a significant problem here, and that there are not services readily available. I have to wonder, where is the common sense? I don't think an inpatient evaluation is going to do much for your family long-term. If things are in a crisis, then yes, I'd go for it, but I think what you're needing is more concrete support in dealing with the day to day challenges and concerns with your son. Honestly, I don't know what to suggest other than continuing to sound the alarm loud and clear with pediatrician, psychiatrist, and therapist, and do your best in the interim to monitor the boys' behaviors. One thought - you and husband are guardians of the boys... were they adopted? Especially the older boy since he's not biologically related to husband? If so, are there any adoption support services available? I'm woefully uneducated about those types of services, but know that some folks on the board have been able to receive services via that route. Hopefully others will be along shortly with more ideas. At the very least, we're here to support you and lend a shoulder when needed. [/QUOTE]
