[QUOTE="dirobb, post: 135626, member: 2858"] We've been thru hospitalization and Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for this difficult child. So she knows we mean business. I think that is part of what frustrates her. She could manipulate her mom and do whatever. She knows we will work at trying to help her become a responsible adult, one day. I looked at job corp but not sure it would help her. I have considered it for difficult child 14ss he is ready to quit school. Hasn't said so...just his actions. I'm ready to start working on a skill set. It is looking bleak for him he is limiting his choices for the future. Peg, I hear you with the one not wanting to go anywhere. Scary, My ex mother in law has one at home and he is 40 and worked once in high school for two weeks. But has a car, gas, food, and whatever he wants, so why should he work or get out on his own. I so do not want any of my children to turn out like this. We want to have them be somewhat self sufficient. I can DREAM. [/QUOTE]
