so...difficult child was having an "ok" summer. Better peer group, but still too much partying. He went to a 3 week summer enrichment program at a midwestern university, and of course found a way to get high every day.
He came home to find he was grounded, and went thru the roof. Refused to take his medications, so we called the cops...then we realized that he basically didnt take his lexapro for the entire 3 weeks...greaaat...wonder if he would have not "backslid" while away if he was on his medications...also if he wouldnt have freaked so bad when we told him he was grounded..
clearly the program didnt have a medications enforcement policy..of course difficult child isnt responsible, we should have realized that..we'll get through it, and our policy remains the same: if you can't abide by the rules of our house, then you'll live in an institution where others will control you.
Annoying that the world is full of morons. And our difficult child is one of them.
