[QUOTE="Steely, post: 346245, member: 3301"] Thanks - Janet this program will "not kick kids out" but they will suspend them for 3 days and make them live on the streets and earn their way back into the program. It truly is the only way a 19 year old will get the message. However, I am having a great degree of PTSD about it. As of right now, they chose not to suspend him because he was responding to their limits. They did call me last night and tell me exactly what to say to Matt - and how to handle the situation when he called me with his drama - which I really appreciated. They told me today I did an amazing job of responding to Matt - which meant a lot - since his last program thought I was the worst mom ever. It seems detaching should be more gradual than this. But it is not. I woke up last night in a panic, filled with terror. However, I processed through it today, and I am in a better spot. My biggest deal is that he will die. I get consumed with a paralyzing fear that I will never speak to him again, hug him, or know he is safe - that I will find him dead. My boss told me today that I was not a high enough caliber employee to assume the vacant position of director of retail - yet he has asked me to that job and mine for upwards of 6 months. His comment really, really stung. It was pretty cutting. I am still fighting off the mono - but I am feeling better. I am trying not to work more than 5 days a week, even though I should to get everything done. Thanks again for caring. [/QUOTE]
