[QUOTE="seekinghope, post: 176483, member: 5528"] So today I visit my son. Sunday no psychiatrist; only limited staff. My son has been cooperative so visits with him are not chaperoned. He starts with the cursing and swearing that he is not going to a rehab for 7-9 months. He wants to go to a "group-home". He says if he is forced to go he'll run. I told him he needs to get a handle on the addition first before we can discuss the next step and that really at this point nothing is left up to me, it depends on the probation dept. and the PINS officer too. They would have to be in agreement. So he throws his soda at me. Shouting I never listen to him. I say over and over I am listening to you I am just not agreeing with you. He still thinks that somehow I can fix things to make it all go his way. He says "he would rather go to "juvy", he is sick of groups and they are not helping him anyway." My son has been off all medications for about 4 weeks now. I know he is having anxiety about leaving. This is how he should be behaving so that the counselors and psychiatrist's can see him in action but for them he holds it together. He is never going to get any better unless he lets go of some of this rage during sessions so that they can get address some of his problems. Me telling them that this is how acts when they are not around is merely hearsay that he can manipulate when I am not there. I am suppose to be going shopping for things he will need at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) on Tues., we leave at around 7:30 am and it takes me a little over an hour to get there. I have to provide everything , from soap and soap dish to sheets and pillow. Now I don't know what to do? It is 2:30 am and I am still awake. I did get a call from him later in the evening saying forget it he was going, but now I have no faith in his words. I don't know if he'll run or what..... The reason that the group home came up is because 2 of the other kids went to one. Thanks for listening, seekinghope [/QUOTE]
