[QUOTE="FlowerGarden, post: 119678, member: 3068"] His psychiatrist brought up the residential placement because she feels he is spiraling out of control but is very "saveable". Because of his age, she feels this is the best way to reach him before he turns 18. When he is in the hospital on a structured schedule and less peer pressure and outside involvement, he does better. At home, he rebels against us too much. He has often said that he doesn't know why but a teacher, neighbor, etc. can tell him what to do but he can't handle us telling him what to do. The atmosphere at home is tense and horrible because of his rages and the damage he has done. We don't have family that can take him for a long stay. So, the dr feels residential will provide the structure and help guide him in handling his disorder and help him learn how to react better instead of aggressively. He is court ordered to attend residential. When the police were called because he was raging out of control and "terrorizing" me, he started yelling and swearing at them. They charged him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The judge took the doctor's recommendation of residential placement and is enforcing it. We really don't have much of a choice as to where he will be placed. Space is so limited. I have been told that the one he is being considered for is very good. One of the staff members at the hospital had worked there a couple of years ago and she saw a lot of positives. Hopefully, my difficult child will find that, too. Witzend, the link you provided is fantastic. [/QUOTE]
