[QUOTE="klmno, post: 278360, member: 3699"] Thanks, but he didn't feel any better when I left. He pulled himself together for them to take him back but he was still upset. I can say this stuff to him, it just doesn't have any effect. I asked him if it didn't feel better to just talk about it, even when a person didn't have answers. He said no. Go figure. I wish I could take stuff to him- we aren't allowed to take them or send them anything- not even a book. They do have books there though and he said he'd been reading- which is a new thing for him. LOL! They say they allow photos to be mailed in but I mailed some a week ago and they haven't given them to him yet. It will be interesting to see if they pass the screening process- but they were only of difficult child doing fun stuff, a couple of people in the family, and mostly our dogs- which he asked for. He'll get a therapist while he's in there- they just haven't started it up yet. My therapist used to work for this system and she said some of their therapist's are useless but a few are good and how difficult child does will depend a lot on which therapist is assigned to him. He'll have a mentor when he gets out- that will probably be the same- the effectiveness will depend on how good they are. I would say that it depends on difficult child since I realize this has a lot to do with it, too, but I swear, this kid has ALWAYS tried with tdocs and so forth so unless that changes, I expect that he will make an effort. He''s one that really thrives on any interest shown by a male adult. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if the therapist he gets in Department of Juvenile Justice is a female- that might not be as effective, but who knows. [/QUOTE]
