[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 315477, member: 1514"] Steely...I dont think you can second guess yourself. I would, if given the chance to keep my kid in such a program, keep my kid where he is. I think they need to be protected until they hit at least 20 or 21. The brain doesnt fully develop until mid twenties. Cory was still a stupid idiot at 19. Heck he is still stupid but he is so much better today. Please dont take so much on you about Matt's choices. I know how hard it is not to feel that we are responsible for everything they do. I have lived and died for so long over everything that Cory has done. It felt like I was a puppet on a string. Finally I have detached enough that I can be sad and upset..FOR him...but I dont get upset for me. I can actually go for days and not think about his problems. I love him dearly. I enjoy him but he has to make his life work. I tried desperately to give him the tools to do this and if he wants to get more tools I will tell him where to go to get them, but I cant shove those tools in his hands. He has to figure out the world for himself. I will cheer for him when he gets a step right though! [/QUOTE]
