[QUOTE="klmno, post: 350978, member: 3699"] When he felt responsible for his own future and such he did much better- of course it appears now that he was just planning this the whole time. Still- he wants to be treated like he's old enough to make he's own choices- then he can suffer his own consequences. I tried to tell them it would be better if he went to a group home first. For one, he'll do anything to get and keep friends' attention and he and I live alone. After living in Department of Juvenile Justice with other male offenders this is only worse- I tried to tell his therapist there this but everyone seemed to act like I was just saying "oh he's just acting this way to get friends"- no - difficult child seriously will do anything for peer acceptance. For another, they are so bound on blaming me for it all that they tend to slap difficult child on the hand and ream me during times like this until he gets to a point of commiting a major illegal offense again- if he was in a group home they wouldn't handle these things the same. But, they only have group homes for boys this age who have committed sexual offenses or other things that don't apply to difficult child and I was told he would more than likely get abused there- which is where I've always drawn the line- and exactly why I have to handle things so delicately so he isn't turned over to DSS , thereby virtually handing my bro custody. difficult child will probably end up running away and even tonight I don't know if he has already.
