[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 135572, member: 393"] [COLOR=DarkRed][B]Sharon, How frustrating - here you're regular psychiatrist is saying one thing - the hospital psychiatrists are being pushed to do another. In the meantime, our little wonders don't help by honeymooning the way they do. In the meantime, the hospital personnel is listening to administration, who are listening to insurance companies. I've complained to phospitals, RTCs, short term facilities that these kids aren't living in the real world. Structured setting does not mean being entertained 100% of the time. I believe, in many ways, there was/is no way we could've competed with Residential Treatment Center (RTC) & be a successful family. These children were given no downtime. None. And there isn't enough staffing in the home to maintain that level of activity. That level of discipline or one on ones. Just not the real world. I wish, just a little, that your difficult child was a bit like wm. He never honeymooned & kept staff on their toes all the time. Hence a 7 week hospitalization until a bed in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was found. The same with the transition from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) to group home. There is something to be said for wm's level when you're looking for help. Gentle (((hugs))) this morning. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
