[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 536947"] LOL Janet. I did go look at Dr. Phils website. Turned out I had looked at it yesterday. The treatment centers I found there did not seem as appropriate for him as the other ones I found... so we are looking at two at the moment. I doubt we would get on Dr Phil but although I am a really open person I am not sure I want to go quite THAT public and I am sure difficult child would not want to. I did get a message from the therapist yesterday and he is going to call the two tx places this morning. From his message he and I seem to be on the same page as to the best scenario. I also had a really good conversation with difficult child last night.... things are opening up a bit between us. I told him I was sorry he was going through this and that I wished I had been able to protect him more and that I had somehow failed him. He told me not to feel that way... I laughed and said has it ever worked when someone told you not to feel a certain way.... and he said no. I told him that I hoped we could have a closer relationship again at some point and he said that I need to know he wants that too. This felt like a good conversation because he wasn't trying to get anything from me so it did not feel like manipulation. Now if we can just find a good place for him that we can also afford somehow.
