[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 388716"] I understand the problem as we live in a small town too and my son definitely has a reputation.... which has made it harder for my easy child daughter who has to deal with all the comments about her older brother and how different she is from him. I can understand your son wanting to get out of town and get a new start. I think given his age of 20 that is something maybe he has to do on his own, or maybe with a little help from you. I don't think I would move solely because that is what he wanted at this point because he is an adult now. If he was younger maybe, although like Suz said difficult children tend to attract difficult children no matter where they go. So is there a place he could go for a new start without you? Could you help get him settled? Our son is right now out of state in rehab and our biggest hope is that he decides to stay there for aftercare and support and not come back home to his same old same old environment. [/QUOTE]
