It's a heart-breaking situation; and one we've all faced or will face. There are things I would have tried, but just didn't have the money for. At some point you do have to face the reality that you have to provide food, clothing, and shelter for ALL your children first, and therapy second.

a difficult situation...so you think the state with its wonderful services, "expertise and programs", will made it easy. sadly there is a lot of taxpayers money wasted on useless psychiatric drugs, useless programs, behaviour consultants, behaviour therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and the support if any is totally inadequate and don't forget, large salaries for administrators....under that pile of wasted resources is your child
