[QUOTE="Steely, post: 192665, member: 3301"] OK, Well........I really just needed prayer, I guess not detachment counseling. But since we are going there........... The fact of the matter is, is that this program he can easily get kicked out of, like any program. Then what. Set him loose on the streets of Utah????? And it is a short term program, only 4 months - not long term - because the world has decided that kids at 18 can do absolutely anything except drink, even if they are not mentally capable. And, the fact of the matter is that 2 of his medications are gone that could have helped or hinder who knows. Too late to know. And the fact of the matter is, it is ridiculous to say that he is 18 so I should detach. Uh..........so what does that mean? Toss him on the street? Yay for me, I can [I]legally[/I] toss him on the streets! So I can detach! That is not what I want, a [U]legal[/U] form to detach. What I want is for him to be able to cope and be successful. And if he is not able to, then a format in place or person that is responsible for helping him with that. I believe that is called detachment, right? Anyway, now I am mad. Sorry. I just wanted support, not a lecture. I give myself enough lectures thank you very much. [/QUOTE]
