[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 71319, member: 1835"] MM and everyone, I can totally see your points, based on my son's history. It seems that everything happened so fast--he graduated from high school one morning, was released from the program immediately afterwards (while still wearing his cap and gown...), came home that afternoon, turned 18 two days later, and was released from placement and probation two days after that. So, in the space of a week, we found ourselves with our son back home, but legally a man, and off all probation. We were told by the probation officer that, had we not all agreed that he would return home, he would have had the choice and opportunity to allow the program to assist him financially and otherwise with finding housing and a job in the area and he would have been completely on his own. When the judge released him, it was into his own custody rather than ours since he was 18, although it was understood that he and we wished for his return home. I guess we went into this "transition" period with the mindset that, as parents, our job was basically done and moot other than to see that our own house rules are followed. I can see that we need to do some thinking and make some revisions... [/QUOTE]
