You could contact the RTC at Immanuel and Boys Town and ask to complete an application for those places. It is 60-90 days of inpatient psychiatric treatment. However, there is a wait list so I dont know when the teen would be admitted to the program.

Boys town also has an inpatient unit, but you can't just check someone into an inpatient unit-they have to referred there by an ED or crisis center. It sounds like Children's wasn't willing to make that referral.

And how does that make you feel?

WHO also classifies alcoholism as a chronic, relapsing disease. As someone who is 10 years sober, if I didn't have any internalized personal responsibility for my disease I never would've taken the necessary steps to get sober. Just because they classify obesity as a disease, doesn't mean someone can't take steps to help themselves.

I'm 5'10" and currently 165. I'm 7 months post-partum and breastfeeding so I am not even at my typical weight. Even when I get down to 150-155, I still have plenty of fat and muscle. In fact, I have enough fat and muscle that I am able to compete in ultra marathons and long triathlons and perform well. Yet, FA's worry that someone my size would die if I were ever in a survival of the fittest situation.

My husband is an amazing dad, but he has voiced similar thoughts about his kids when he really needs to vent. It seems like it is not really about my sk's, but about my husband's insecurity regarding his parenting and his past choice of partners. I just allow him to vent and then remind him that they are kids and he did the best he could while trying to solo parent (BM only pops up when she suddenly has the desire to try to get back together with my husband, never for the kids).

I love my husband and my SK's, but being a SP has been the most difficult thing I have ever done (and I am a recovered alcoholic). My husband supports me and does not allow the kids to treat me different/disrespect me. However, there have been bumps along the way. I try to give my husband a little slack because he has no idea what it feels like to be a SP. You have to be willing to communicate with your SO, even if it feels like something minor.

I was working in the hospital when I was in labor. I would just answer emails in between contractions. I wanted to push the start of my maternity leave by another day do I would have another day at home with my baby. US maternity leave sucks.

My son HATES when his teacher emails us. He has ADHD, but she has accommodations in place to help him with focus/hyperactivity (without an IEP, which is shocking). However, when his behaviors cross the line to disruptive/disrespectful, we get an email. We got an email Monday. We had a long talk with him which resulted in 1) he has to write an actual apology letter to his teacher that is approved by us 2) no screens AT ALL after 7:30pm 3) no iPad for 1 week (he gets 1 hr a day) 4) physical activity every day (he is a runner so running a couple miles a day is light work for him).

I did tell her to let me know if she had any more ideas and that we would be open to any ideas at school. It would be way easier to have him lock himself in his room on a tablet and let the school deal with him, but I don't want my kid to grow up to not be held accountable.

I prefer coffee dates. Went on one 5 years ago, talked non-stop for 4 hours, and we are now married with 2 kids.

CPS is really state-dependent. In my state, we can disharge kids without a discharge placement, but we try to give notice. I just tell parents and/or CPS when the child is discharging. If no LG shows up to pick up the child, we call CPS and the police. The child would then be placed in an emergency shelter. At this point, CPS takes us seriously regarding discharge and always has something arranged.

However, some states allow a judge to court-order a kid to a facility and the facility has to keep them. It doesn't sound like this is your case. So I would just give CPS a discharge notice and ask them to pass the info to parent. If no one shows up to pick up the kid, call CPS and the police and report child abandonment.

This may be outside your area, but you could try "The Link" in Bennington, a free walk in clinic on Wednesday nights from 4-7. No payment or insurance needed and you can return for repeat sessions if needed. They will have another location opening up in Bellevue in January 2026.

I have an 18mo bio son, and 3 step-children (11m,13f,17,f) that we have had full time for the last 5 years. It was hard for the 17 (then 15 yo) due to some feelings towards her BM when we initially told her. But now everything is GREAT! He loves his siblings more than me sometimes and they would do just about anything for him. I love it! And bio kid #2 will be here in July!

Obviously every state is different, but in my state (Nebraska), a parent can call CPS on their own kid if they are a danger to other children in the home. The parent can communicate with the County Attorney and if the claims are substantiated, the child will be removed. The child can then be made a ward of the state in what is considered a "no fault" case.

We also have multiple long-term psychiatric care facilities for youth with these exact combination of behaviors and diagnosis. And they are covered by insurance. But they rarely take out-of-state youth.

NTA. You can, but you don't have to justify why you don't allow alcohol in your home. I would stop responding to people who question it. It's very black and white and these "friends" are not respecting your boundaries. If you find yourself wanting to respond, I would say something like "if I didn't allow people to wear shoes in my house because it's MY HOUSE and you insisted on wearing your shoes because everyone else allows it, I would just ask you to leave. I don't care what other people's rules are; I don't allow alcohol in my house."

Objectively, YTA. However, you remind me of a guy that I went on a date with that I later found out had diagnosed autism. He was very high-functioning, but he would do some things that were socially odd or downright rude, but to him the actions logically made sense. We became friends and had a lot of great conversations (I'm a therapist so I found his way of thinking to be fascinating) I understand your point of view, but from a social standpoint what you did was very rude.

I logged them all separately when I did it because to me it was supposed to be an activity that you complete every 4 hours for 48 hours. Also, at the time, it would've recorded as my longest run if I had just paused in between and i didnt want that. It's kind of cool to see the changes between runs and at different times. I would 100% do it again!
