[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631456, member: 17542"] Yes, I have asked difficult child multiple times to sign releases, and he never has. Then, he wants me to call probation officers and county workers and public defenders once he is in jail. I have done what you did, thinking I was being helpful, only to find out nothing and have no idea what is really going on. I would tell him I will do nothing more, not one single thing, until he signs allowing the rehab to share information with you and the PO to share information with you. Then, you can talk with the social workers there specifically about how they will help him transition back to the "real world." Most go to halfway houses, where there are lots of rules and regulations and they can ease back into the world. If he won't sign, you can still find out what transition services are offered, just not specifically about his situation. When I paid for my son to go to rehab for a month, they strongly encouraged him to go straight to a halfway house that they operate, but he refused to do it. Once you can see that they will help him----but he has to agree---you can let go of the outcome and realize he has to do this. in my humble opinion, unless I can see lasting, consistent and significant change in attitude, thinking and behavior---and get confirmation of desire to change from the professionals as well---my difficult child would never spend even one night at my house. Warm hugs, you're doing great. Keep it up. [/QUOTE]
