[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 710133, member: 16761"] Thanks, RN. We have tried to get him help in the past and it seemed there was none. We finally got him admitted to a dual diagnosis place when he was 17 and thought 'Oh boy!' Now he's getting help. They let him go after 7 days. After he had threatened to kill us and himself. The safety plan? To put our knives up. Okay..... He went thru motions of outpatient after that but nothing. Couldn't/wouldn't take the medications prescribed and he was on so many others that I wasn't comfortable with shoving more down his throat. I remember one time at juvenile court, the lawyer bent over and asked us if he was in therapy. I nodded but was going to go in to the difficulties of getting him there, the futility of him being smart enough to say all the right things, etc - when he just leaned over and told the prosecutor 'He's receiving services.' The case was dropped before the judge could sit down. That's how it works in this state. At this point, RN, I'm thinking I should take a page from part of your book, and move him 1500 miles from here. Might be just as effective. [/QUOTE]
