[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 685654, member: 1233"] There would be no phone/internet usage in my home, entire household would be in therapy (Mom & Dad to be on same page and deal with the stresses), no trips anywhere because he stole the card, and next time he took a credit card and used it, the cops would handle the situation as a criminal issue. He needs help. So does She but you can't fix that. I would inform her and her parents that the kids are to have no contact and if the girl keeps contacting him then I would try for a restraining order. I would tell your son that IF he works to integrate back into real life, has activities and gets good grades, then after 6 mos you will consider allowing weekly calls with the girl or letters between them. He would have zero unsupervised technology access even if I had to put the modem in my car during the day and sleep on top of it at night. Or even if I had to have a tech free home for the entire family. Above all, I would follow my instinct on what is best and would value my instincts about what is right above whatever a therapist or doctor said. If I had a bad feeling about a therapist, we would see someone else. There are some crackpots out there working as therapists and you must meet them before your child does. You know your son best . You have spent his entire life with him and your instincts/gut feelings are the best guidance system you have. [/QUOTE]
