[QUOTE="JKF, post: 588566, member: 12470"] Thank you RE. I like the "do over" idea. I'm going to keep that in mind. If one plan fails, we can change gears and have a do-over! Love it!! That being said, I'm still torn right now - send him - don't send him- but in my heart I honestly feel it would be best for difficult child to go to my dad. My father is a kind, determined man who will help difficult child flourish. He's strict but not in a demanding way. He has good morals and wants to teach difficult child about life and I think if anyone can help him, my dad can! At this point difficult child has expressed that he does not want to go into the Safe Haven shelter when it opens. He wants to be "on his own". I think if I force him into the shelter it will backfire. He's been doing fantastically at the motel - even the MHA worker commented on that after visiting with him this morning. She said he looks fantastic. I think that if he has to go from the motel into a shelter he'll get kicked out before I can blink. Then we'll be back to square one. I don't want to do square one anymore. We've done it a million times. I'm ready to move on and I know he is too. [/QUOTE]
