[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 471427, member: 1514"] DF....After Cory's came out of his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and they tried him in a therapeutic foster home which was an entire joke - he lasted a week because the guy was a molester - then they transferred him to a fairly good group home but Cory blew that by running, well I was done. He came home and I just quit. I suggested things to him like he might want to consider adult high school or his GED but I wasnt begging. I didnt buy him anything new again. He needed clothes? Goodwill. Shoes? if we couldnt find any at goodwill then it was the cheapest place I could find. No more nice stuff. I made him walk everywhere he could possibly walk. I shut off all mental health. If he wasnt interested, neither was I. I basically treated him like someone I didnt know very well and didnt particularly like. [/QUOTE]
