I haven't been here in awhile. I just got on to ask your prayers. My younger ds, the one with so many little disorders that add up to a big problem, may have to go to a residential placement. We don't want to do this, but today, I had to call the police to protect myself and my older ds (who in size is smaller than younger ds.) He doesn't mean to be this way, but it happens, and he is getting bigger, and I'm not. Or younger. Yes, I'd like to work through it, but we have been for about 3 or 4 years now, and really haven't gotten very far, and I think my forbearance has worn out.
I'm not making a rash decision, not yet, and I'm not asking anyone to talk us into or out of anything, but I'm asking you to pray to God to guide us to what is the best for our family.
Thank you, and God bless.

Thank you all. I can really feel the prayers. Good days inevitably follow bad ones, so today was good-ish. We have a behavior therapy appt. next week, at which point, we (parents) will discuss some options. Prayer and discernment are what we need now. Again, thank you all. I honestly can't talk to anyone here about this.

I want to thank you all so much for your prayers and words of support. Things have gotten progressively worse, so we are going to place ds soon. We're hoping to go right to a residential treatment facility, but it may work out that hospitalization is first.
Sometimes, it is time for a mother to recognize that she has done all in her power as she can by herself, and that it is time for a different kind of help. It is heartbreaking, but there is another child in this family who should not have to be terrorized on a daily basis.
I feel OK in this because I know that we have been as loving and patient and supportive as any parent can be, and this has not been enough. So my heart is at peace. I thank God that there are other resources and that we have him and Our Lady to lean on in our distress.
God bless all of you for your support.

An update: Younger son was placed at Cincinnati Children's. It was wonderful. The staff was compassionate and caring. My son learned so many coping skills. We are in the midst of discerning whether some sort of sp. ed. in public school will be appropriate. I am having my doubts.
