[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 32666, member: 3388"] Sue, I really understand how you feel! difficult child 1 usually talks about white magic when he is unstable. He also believes in magic spells,magic cures, etc... It scares the HE** out of me too!!! He practices weird rituals in his room while chanting at certain times... We had to hide all matches, etc. because he told easy child that he needed to burn candles in his room... He went so far once as to tell his psychiatrist that he couldn't take any medication because it was against his religion (witch craft). HELP!!! I'm with you - I don't understand how any Residential Treatment Center (RTC) could give kids unlimited internet access. in my humble opinion, this is a recipe for disaster when you're dealing with unstable kids!!! I would talk with someone at the transitional program and find out what the policies on internet use are. What are these people thinking [img]:grrr:[/img] ??? When difficult child 1 is stable, he doesn't talk about witchcraft. As thank you becomes more stable, I hope and pray his interest in magic will fade... I wish I had some good advice for you. Unfortunately I don't. You're right - we lose control over who our difficult children hang out with as they get older... It is so frightening!!! I really don't think there is anything we can do about it unless, as you put it, we lock them in a room 24/7... Since my difficult child is living at home at the moment, he doesn't have any internet access unless he is being watched. However, he makes sure to tell me about interesting things he has read on the internet while at school or at the library. If there is a will, difficult children will find a way... I think all we can do is to offer our advice and pray that some of it penetrates their thick skulls. I think we have to detach to a certain degree as they get older. WFEN [/QUOTE]
