[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 177350, member: 1233"] I don't mean to sound hard, or cold. But right now aren't you living with your parents? I think you might have more success in the long run if you concentrate on moving the kids out of the house. the $35K is a lowball estimate, as meowbunny says. You also have to think about difficult child 2. Which kid has a higher likelihood of "buying in" to a program and would have more time to make it work?? I am very much not sure this is a good bet for a 17yo kid who would have to be court ordered to even go there. I am sure the person in charge spent quite a lot of time with you. That is there job - selling the school to parents. IF you are going to do a program like this, it would be best to invest in an educational consultant and let htem help you find a program that is the best fit between your child and the school/program. But just getting away from the home iwth your parents might be a better financial investment?? Just asking. I know for us it was a huge help with the other kids, and then moving difficult child back to my parents was an even bigger help. he got to be the "only child" he needs to be, and we got to deal with all the PTSD he left behind. Hugs and support no matter what you decide! [/QUOTE]
