[QUOTE="buddy, post: 478882, member: 12886"] I'm trying to follow, so please forgive me if I am off base here. What you say about them not having any more than a good difficult child parent like you is so amazing. I am sure their perspective IS that it is the parent's fault, and good parenting would have solved this. So, they are not really difficult child oriented, they are typical teen rebelion oriented it seems... well whatever it is, that must be a huge frustration. So, what would happen if you tried the option to go directly home and it didn't work? Could the carrot (not really a carrot, avoidance of a nasty veggie) be that if he doesn't do well, if he threatens or does aggress, then it is off to the group home.... Well, I guess then at that point it is new charges and he will go back to Department of Juvenile Justice... Ok, instead, it is off to the group home even for a threat or not complying with family therapy etc. Would they allow a back up plan or is it one thing and one thing only? You would still have the issue of being together immediately after family therapy sessions, and for that, could his mentor time be that they pick him up and take him right then? Just grasping at straws here. Praying for some clarity on their part for you! luv, Dee [/QUOTE]
