[QUOTE="Terryforvols, post: 34935, member: 2127"] Mikey-- I absolutely love "Intervention" (my husband hates it -- too close to home for him). I agree totally, whatever gets them to say yes, go, go, go. Our difficult child admitted that she went to the 9 month Residential Treatment Center (RTC) planning on "playing the system" and biding her time, but apparently the light went on in her head and heart, and she decided to start changing her ways. Another thing we discovered is that the 30-day rehab didn't work, not long enough to really make changes. The "Addiction" series on HBO brought that out, too, I believe. Anyway, what works for one of us may not fit someone else, we just need to support each other because "normal" families a lot of times just don't understand our issues and think we are "bad" parents who just don't do enough or care enough for our kids, when the opposite is so true. I wish you the best of luck in your situation. You sound like a very loving family who wants nothing but the best for your son/brother. My heart is with you! [/QUOTE]
