I believe I am going to e-mail the principal about both issues. I am still kind of shocked about the whole situation, although at this point I know I shouldnt be.
My husband actually has brought up the inpatient possibility. I know the place Sean went for the Intensive Outpatient Program has an Inpatient facility. What he really wants is for someone to seriously observe Sean's behavior for a decent period of time and adjust meds as needed. I am under the impression that you would only be admitted there if you were in crisis mode.

Have you talked to his therapist about what you would need to do to get someone from a hospice place to watch him and give you a break? I know a friend of mine worked hospice for years and did that. She absolutely loved it and the parents really appreciated it.

Right now we don't have a therapist. We have the psych. who isnt one for talking. Go figure. He is just there to write the prescription. That's why I'm in the process of switching over to this counseling center. They have both therapists and a psych. there.

So the whole "winning a contest" thing was a front. Sean did not in fact win any contest. There was no contest. It was a handout. Just got off the phone with the counselor. Apparently someone felt bad for poor little Sean when he told them how his mean mean daddy wouldnt give him money. Or maybe how his poor destitute parents cant afford a book, She did not know all the details of exactly who gave him the money. She thinks it was either the teacher or some parents who worked at the book fair chipped in because they felt bad. Either way I am disgusted.

Oh geeze. I don't blame you for feeling disgusted. And I'm sure it doesn't help matters that you don't know who did the "kind deed" so you could set them straight and even give them the money back. I'm so sorry. I really do think you need a long break from all this. You and your hubby should at least try to plan a weekend get-away (don't take phones with you, lol) and let the pod Mom take over.

I emailed his teacher this afternoon and said exactly that-that I wanted to know who gave the money so that they could be paid back. Still havent heard back.

You should have him write an apology to give when he pays the money back. He needs to take responsibility for his actions. I know how mortified you must be.

The good thing is the nurse did call you and talk to you first some schools do not do that by the way they just call things in. It is good you had a good talk with the school so they know what he does in certain situations this way they will notify you every time for clarification. You have nothing to fear you did the right thing and do confront him on what he was telling them.
As for his bio mom she needs to give him the boots back or tell her from now on you are sending him over in old clothes and shoes and she needs to buy her own set of clothes and shoes for him at her house if she is going to be that way this way this will not happen again.
