[QUOTE="DDD, post: 112108, member: 35"] I, too, have had no luck with residential programs and even after "almost" paying "the ultimate price", my easy child/difficult child who was also gifted prior to his brain injury probably still is not ready to give up his difficult child friends. It is so frustrating! on the other hand, your son is still young and he does have the potential to pull it together. I think the key is for you and husband to come to a meeting of the minds...and then...meet with difficult child and see where it goes. Do I think you should be really optimistic? Well...not really. Do I think it's important to practice Detachment 101 skills, absolutely. BUT I was a easy child and I made poor choices at 17 that I regretted after the fact. Most teens do mess up. Most teens also grow into decent adults when they have support. If you don't try.......you'll never know. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
