[QUOTE="DDD, post: 84099, member: 35"] We, too, heard all the positive comments at all THREE programs our teen participated in over a one year period. The most common staff feedback was "your son is unique because he respects and loves you" and "doesn't want to cause you any stress". The issue wasn't about his love for us or our love for him OR how tight we were. The issue was, and still is, his impulsive behaviors, choice of friends and pot and alcohol abuse. There hasn't been one day that he has doubted our love nor have we doubted his. It just 'aint the issue. You are wise to recognize that the frosting may look great but the cake may be rotten. My husband and I, plus many CD families, believe that the polite, handsome, bright, well mannered teens with family support are deemed successes in the making because many of the teens in programs display open defiance etc. etc. Do I have an answer?? Heck, no. Wish I did. on the other hand, I am glad you are leery of the accolades. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
