[QUOTE="Janna, post: 240592, member: 2737"] Ok ~ so, *technically* I don't belong here :) But, again, *technically* B is now emancipated, so ~ although he's not 18 quite yet ~ I'm free :) I'm very sorry that you're faced with this. I'm happy, however, they have housing/accomodations and he's getting on SSI. It sounds like things will be ok! Star, I was just faced with this very issue you're dealing with. B, coming out of his *fourth* Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) stay, countless interventions, financially draining us, the verbal abuse handed to my other children on his behalf. He was hauled into this Residential Treatment Facility (RTF), a state one, for violating probation (actually, that would be stealing our car with no permit or license, driving into the fields and totalling it) and after 8 months, they say "well, can he come home?". Hmm ~ My answer was of course a huge no. And then, how convenient, they had "nowhere" to place him. Hmm....funny. My motherly instinct, of course, says bring him home. My sanity says absolutely not. I did. He hasn't been here a week. I regret it. My first instinct was to tell him tough beans ~ you did this to yourself, good luck. I always heard you should follow your first (gut) instinct. I hope you're rested :) [/QUOTE]
