[QUOTE="DDD, post: 570079, member: 35"] I can't even explain how happy I am that you were able to hang around a bit and monitor the facility. In his teens I had difficult child#1 in three SA facilities. Yikes I was so naive AND so hopeful that the staff would be able to get him back to good health because I had a crumbled heart and a soul full of fear. Each facility was within two hours or so from my home. The first was recommended by the recently retired Supervisor of Department of Juvenile Justice who told me "I would send my teen there with complete confidence." Anyway I subsequently learned that the "day" staff left at five (except on family nights) and the teens were managed by minimum wage recovering substance abusers until morning. All kinds of "unacceptable" things happened at night including a mixing of the sexes. Sigh. They did write off the balance due on my account once confronted however it had a longlasting impact on my teen. LMS and her husband spent mega bucks and followed the recommendation of either a Judge or a Minister for their teens. It, also, was a disaster. I don't think they were able to get any refund. My point is YOU are an outstanding Warrior Mom. You maintained your role as difficult children Advocate and proved, once again, that you are on HIS team...even though you are not going to travel his chosen sa road. Way To Go! We are all so vulnerable and newbie's can learn from our past experiences. Thanks for sharing. DDD [/QUOTE]
