[QUOTE="klmno, post: 437495, member: 3699"] thank you, ML! DDD, I re-read your post- the part about difficult child getting freedom (or independence) sooner is what I'm telling him about a group home. He wants more freedom than he can get in any reasonable family home. In most situations a kid just has to bite it. With my son, that approach leads to violence or dangerous behavior however, he isn't really at a stage where he can be thrown out to the wolves and expected to survive, so I am telling him a group home gives an intermediate solution. I will need to talk to him and others first, and find out exactly when (how old he'll be) when he'll get released before making any firmer position than I already have. All I know is that I cannot take another situation where a PO is throwing out whatever order that crosses their mind while using the threat of dss (ie, my bro) against me) and difficult child using this to walk all over me again. I can't handle it on any level and it obviously proved to only make difficult child worse. [/QUOTE]
