[QUOTE="DavidH, post: 142263"] Hello... as far as their release date.. there is none never was, in dealing with them they alwasy said most boys.. 9 to 12 months - and this is about what I am seeing... a few have been in over a years, but mostly those are the ones with addictions as well they are dealing with. He has been in since July 30th of 2007 - so he is at the 9th month mark now - with a min of at least 2 months to go in school His home passes are coming about once every three weeks now.. the last was the hardest.. he just could not handle the thought of me not with him for the last hour and a half of the pass.. but in the end he did.. after gallons of tears... he did well not begging or complaining and certainly not rude... but trying to find a way dad could drive him back (work had me stuck past the time he had to be back) - in the end I could of driven hm back but it got to the point I told myself.. DO NOT GIVE IN he has to deal with disapointments and I stuck to my guns and let his grammy take him back... he called like 6 times on the drive back,.. just to talk... I feared him going back in such an emotional state... but I just heard back from his theripist... here is the letter she sent in reply to my note (above) I sent this AM I have taken out allot of the email with personal info.. so hope it makes sense......
