[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 209284, member: 1436"] Stef, it is so difficult to have to take a child that you love dearly (but may not like) and have to place him somewhere to keep the rest of the family safe. I'm glad you are getting a 2nd evaluation. Hopefully, this will give you some answers and options. It is not easy to find treatment for a child who has a little of this and a little of that. I spent years trying to get help for mine, but it took jail and age to make it feasible for him to live in my home again. He will never be what I dreamed for him, but he is now able to live his own dreams. And that, in and of itself, is sometimes the only success you get. He is still a pothead, but he is not committing any other crimes. He is working two part-time jobs, but is not able to live on his own yet. He is no longer stealing, lying, or making our lives miserable---so there is some hope. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
