[QUOTE="JKF, post: 452158, member: 12470"] I hate to say it but at this point if I lose custody than so be it. He's 17 and in 10 months he will be an adult anyway. If this is the only way I can get him help then that's more important than having custody of him. As for the medication wash I spoke to the psychiatrist about that and she said that he's showing progress now that she took him off the Prozac and increased the Abilify. She said a mood stabilizer won't do much since his problems are 95% behavioral. At this point he's no longer making death threats but the fact that he DID and said he had a plan in place on how to do it is what has my husband and I worried. We can't risk bringing him home and having something happen. The psychiatrist is confident that he's now stable enough to be released although she still agrees that he needs an out of home placement. However, by law, since I'm refusing to pick him up they need to contact DYFS. This is exactly what happened last Wed when I refused to pick him up. They called DYFS and DYFS found there was no neglect on my part and refused to place him since there is a recommendation by the hospital that he receives out of home treatment. DYFS said that because of that recommendation difficult child is not technically being abandoned and it's CMO's responsibility. This whole thing is a nightmare! I almost think they're trying to drive me crazy so that I just fold and bring him home! [/QUOTE]
