[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 573437, member: 11001"] Hello and welcome. I understand. My daughter has spent 2 years plus in RTCs. Marijuana is her drug ofchoice. Medications have not helped her And she finds relief from mj on occation. She still insists nothing has worked to calm her mind or help her feel peace. Mental illness is the real issue. You didnt cause this. Its something that happens to some kids the way that some kids are born with athletic or musical ability. Its a bear to deal with. i suggest finding a support group for you. I have attended NAMI groups as well as FA. Both helped in different ways. There is no answer. My daughter has gained some coping skills from treatment that are healthy. I dont regret forcing her into Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Many deal with behavior not just addiction. Her dream of medical school is not going to happen any time soon because of her emotional disregulation. I almost supported early college entry as she took her GED in the middle of he junior year to get out of shool. It was too hard for her to be there. I decided not to pay for college until she was more stable. She is working...though she has tried 4 jobs this year. You have to do what is best for him, but also best for your other boys anf YOU. He may need to be pushed into something. No answers just understanding and Support. These decisions are so hard and they are not always the cure. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
