[QUOTE="klmno, post: 195092, member: 3699"] Thanks, Janet. He's in the shower right now and I'm trying to gather my thoughts enough to be able to post more about the specifics. But my thoughts are jumping all over the place and I'm so pained over it all. This time really did get to me- I think because I feel like the only options are that he makes it at home and finds a way to stay stable or he gets to over to the state dept of corrections for god knows how long, then is released to live whever they choose, and given what I've seen from these people so far, that probably wouldn't be a place that actually helped difficult child. My insurance won't cover anything other than acute, I have no money like that- to pay for an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or anything, I have no family backing me up. I'm trying not to get on a pity wheel here, but I need to get my thoughts in order. And still, what to do about it would be an answer that people are not going to agree on- that's because no one really knows the right answer, I think. If there was a "right" answer, we all would know it by now. It just really, really hurts to see him become so unstable so fast. Right now, I feel like no one can possibly understand. So many people treat this like... well, I don;t think people look at it like I see it. My grandmother had alzheimer (sp)- when she started showing real signs of it, dr's talked with the closest family members and tried to give them support, advice, etc. People just don't seem to do that in this situation, at least with me, because he's a kid I guess. I don;t know. It's like they don't even consider this a mental illness- but do they really think I'd be going thru all the medications, sd, dr's if it wasn't? sorry- I'm rambling. [/QUOTE]
