[QUOTE="slsh, post: 494930, member: 8"] Hi, and welcome. So glad you found us. Only question I'll throw into the mix :winking: is how is she doing in school? My son was very much like your daughter - virtually impossible to take out in public by the time he was 7-8 due to violent rages and unsafe behavior. Our solution wasn't much of one - we simply didn't take him out unless we had no choice, which meant his excursions into the community consisted of therapist/psychiatrist appointments, and other dr. appts for my oldest when husband couldn't take time off from work. We were trained in therapeutic restraints by his therapist (trainings well documented in our son's chart for if/when DSS became involved), and there were several incidents where I ended up having to restrain him in public. Got a *lot* of stares from strangers, but... you gotta do what you gotta do, and letting him rage simply wasn't an option. Even with our limited outings, there were still some simply horrendous events. I hear you about the hospitalization being "fun time". It frustrated me no end because I thought they would be able to "cure" him, just as if he had appendicitis. psychiatric hospitalizations are simply for medication tweaking and stabilization, and in my experience, they worked to get him stable enough to come home to continue outpatient treatment (until the next explosion and hospitalization). What is DSS expecting you to do? Are they offering any additional services? Again, welcome and glad you found us. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
