difficult child has been in psychiatric hospital over two weeks now. The medication changes have not made things better, he refuses to do group therapy, and refuses the family therapy they wanted to do with him and us. He got kicked out of group for his disruptive behaviors, not participating, and making threatening statements to the leaders.
I try to talk to him or visit with him every day, but often he refuses to do one or the other. He refuses to see or talk to husband at all.
We want him to get better and work with us to come home. The insurance will only pay for 30 days, so there is not too much time left.
Has anyone been in this situation before? I don't know what to expect from the psychiatric hospital. This is a first for us. If he is refusing reunification with us do they honor that somehow, or does he have no choice by to come home?
I really want him to come home. I really want to work on our relationship and continue to do what we need to help him get better.
I am starting to feel uneasy about this situation.
Any advice on how to reach him? He seems to blame us for everything in his life that has not gone how he has wanted. It has made him resistant to working on our relationship, or any future goals. It does not help that the medications are not working and he is still in depression (some days seem worse than others).I really don't know what to do....
