[quote=Anonymous]When we were in a similar situation, we were discouraged about what we heard about Dominion. It was a very difficult period so I understand the desperation. In our situation, DC refused to go and for PHP, it's voluntary so we couldn't make DC go. We ended up having weekly appointments with the psychiatrists who worked very hard at getting DC stabilized with meds. That was critical. I learnt some lessons from that horrible experience. First and foremost, de-escalate or do what you can to prevent escalation. Consequences, putting my foot down, etc. was counterproductive and led to some scary situations. Decrease demands on the child. Again, I'm not saying you need to do that all the time but it's helpful when you are going through a rough patch and there's little help to turn to. Sending you a virtual hug OP.[/quote]
