[QUOTE="Fran, post: 276786, member: 3"] You realize at 18 he doesn't have to go to counseling or cooperate? No wilderness program will take him if he is not willing to go at 18. It's pretty late in the game to talk parenting. It's more a matter of function and laws. If he gets arrested he isn't going to juvie but big boys jail. Life will change dramatically for him and for you. No one will give you any info on your child despite you paying the bills. His counselors, doctors and anyone else are bound to privacy rules for an 18yr old. I would suggest Alanon for you and your husband regardless if difficult child goes to AA. I know some pediatric recommendations but I don't really know of any in the adult world. Do a search for post high school transition programs. I know there are some out there but I do not believe I know of any in Texas. (I lived there 12yrs but moved less than 2 yrs ago) Good luck with rules and consequences. I don't see this as working since it hasn't thus far. [/QUOTE]
