[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 92089, member: 3450"] Hi, it really does sound like you have done everything possible, especially with the wilderness and Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I think it is perfectly reasonable for you to try to detach emotionally (I know you can't make him leave your home, he is too young). That is what my husband and I had to do with our difficult child. When we felt we had exhausted all the resources we had we just did what we were required to do by law (report her missing) and went on with our lives. She was picked up by the police eventually and court ordered to rehab. By the time she returned home she was nearly 18 and left our home to live with her boyfriend. I felt like we just had to muddle through til she was old enough that we could say she couldn't live in our home without abiding by our rules. As I said in my earlier post, she is now 19 and doing much better so don't give up hope, just try to detach so you can still enjoy your lives and get through the next few years! [/QUOTE]
