[QUOTE="klmno, post: 286718, member: 3699"] What a heart breaking story- for both you and your bro. My gut tells me intensive therapy is needed more than anything. Of course, safety comes first and he might need to be in a hospital (psychiatric hospital) right now, temporarily, but I tend to think that relinquishing custody should be a last resort. Most (if not all) locations have funds available to pay for special services, such as intensive in-home therapy. It's just a matter of accessing the services and funds. If you get comfortable enough to tell us the state you are in, someone on the board might be able to give some pointers in this area. I would not recommend MST services, but that's just based on my experience. They work primarily on behavior modification but in my layman's opinion, this boy needs a lot more therapy than just behavior modification. I think you are right in him being a very high risk for suicide and beh mod alone won't "fix" that. I'm glad you found the board- Welcome! There are many here who can offer more experienced advice and this is a great place to "unload" some of the emotional toil you have been dealing with. [/QUOTE]
