I feel like there’s no way out.

[QUOTE="B’smom, post: 750903, member: 23359"] There’s no one to leave him woth. J’s Family lives out of province (12 hours by car). My parents cannot handle him (my mother gives him anything just to avoid conflict- it makes it worse cause he then hates me even more). And my father has a lot of health issues. So we don’t ask. I do have a sibling but she’s expecting. So that’s a safety issue, not that she took him before that anyways. We have a respite worker that takes him out occasionally but B often refuses to leave or if he’s being unsafe (hitting etc) it’s not safe to leave either. The children’s respite home in our area refuses to take him due to his violent nature. We have a behavioural specialist we’ve been working with for about 5 years now. He comes in home and helps design behaviour plans. We have tried a lot over the years and nothing seems to work. Some made it worse. Unfortunately I don’t have any friends left. Raising B has been extremely isolating. I had my job which gave me respite but I had to take the summer off since there is no where to go. I have been lobbying our MPP (provincial elect in our city- I’m not sure what he would be equivalent to in the states? He goes to parliament and helps pass laws etc). Anyways I’ve been lobbying for day treatment in our city (residential treatment facilities are a min 1 hour outside of our town). Well probably never see it though. [/QUOTE]
