[QUOTE="JoyceHansell, post: 312568, member: 8213"] First of all I would like to Thank everyone for their help. When I say this was a slap in the face it really was. I guess I should have seen it coming but I didnt. Billy has always had mood swings which we chalked up to hormones and some problems in school that we thought were boys will be boys. This school year we new something was going on. He was cussing and yelling in class, not doing his work and just getting in trouble. I am kind of thnakful he got caught with drugs. If he didnt get caught he wouldnt have tried to kill himself we would have never taken him to the ER and he would have never been admitted to a hospital. We have the worst insurance in the world. Everyday they made the hospital get approval for him to stay because it was an acute adolecent wing and they didnt want to pay the high price of him being there. Then when we found out he wouldnt be ready to come home when he was being discharged from there we started looking into residetial treatment programs, boot camps, wildreness programs and theraputic boarding schools. Our insurance then told us they would not pay for any of them or help pay for them. We ended up looking at 23 progrmas and had to clear out Billys college fund to pay for the theraputic boarding school. He will be there until the end of August. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make or do. Taking my son 4 and half hours from home and leaving him with strangers. He is currently on 3 medications. They said they believe he was self medicating with the drugs. As for the cutting I was a cutter when I was younger. It was easier to hurt on the outside then on the inside.
