Keep talking to us. I totally can relate.

I have a now 30 year old. That at almost 16, ended up in a boarding school.
After trying to throw his 3 year younger brother, into a wall. In a chair.

He was placed by our county, he went to a juvenile place for 3 months, and
was assesed by the state. But our county chose to take all the time I had
spent getting him help. And placed him in the juvenile, place that could
redo his medicines and get a psychiatrist that could help.

He was there for 6 months, because the psychiatrist found the right medication. It was supposed to be a year.

We got stuck with all the bills. But I am sure it saved my son's life. I was
sure that he would kill someone by 18 if not for this.

He now has a job and a family. And is doing great.

THe only thing I did when he was dismissed, was I requested the judge
order the psychiatrist treat him. See I didn't want to start over. And she
wouldn't be allowed to keep him, if he didn't . So he did. She gave us
evening apptments.
