[QUOTE="Star*, post: 424680, member: 4964"] This is the game that the State makes you play to keep you in the loop to GET TO - the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) help. As absurd as they truly are, sound or realistically in actuality are? These are the same games we played with them to keep our "foot in the door" so to speak and play their games so that we exhausted all their "try this" BS. So that we could get the help we knew we needed. They told us this is what THEY have to show the state in order to procure funding for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement for Dude. While we were like - ARE YOU SERIOUS? We're DYING here and you want to play pat-a-cake and send in some student from USC to observe our household? You all are NUTS. This kid is literally tearing our house apart, destroying my life and you have been TOLD he needs more than talk therapy, that he's dangerous and yet you want to come out once a week, get a behavior chart together and go have ice cream? Then report me to CPS when I loose my cool because I'm begging for help? Yup - that's what I was told. The loosing my cool was putting my foot through a wall when I had an arrow shot at my chest with a bow and arrow when I asked Dude -something - can't remember and did their "redirect' "redirect" redirect" multiple times after I had been shoved and spat in the face on. I figured that was better than slapping my child. Nope - I was supposed to just calmly walk away. The man they sent was an idiot. After he did his little tour in my home? I wrote to his professor at USC, I wrote to the director of Mental Health and I wrote to the director of the State. I told them I got tired of playing HIS psychiatrist. I got tired of leaving my house every week to go get coffee and doughnuts to listen to HIS marriage problems since my son refused to listen to him. and I got tired of my family dreading his arrival - we even drove around and looked at Christmas lights and talked about what a disappointement he was to his Father. OMG - are you kidding me. nope. It was ridiculous. Yeah - they sent me a bill for services. After I sent my letter I didn't get a bill, and I didn't get any more suggestions to do "IN HOME Therapy with a worker either. Daisy I'm sorry - sadly this place is the ONLY service that can get you the services you need right now without private funding. If your daughter DOES go deep end? You can call your case worker and tell her in NO uncertain terms "LOOK WE ARE DESPERATE - WE NEED PLACEMENT NOW" and see if it helps - but unless that happens? It's jump hoop jump. Hugs [/QUOTE]
