[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 537894, member: 59"] I feel bad for him. I imagine he is feeling like he doesn't belong there, and yet if he would only gve it a chance he may find that their program can help him. He may be comparing himself to others and not seeing that he is like them, but it doesn't matter, they are all struggling with issues that need to be confronted. I hope he gives it a chance. I know how worried you are TL because how many more places can you find for him? In a way I know my difficult child's issues are low self worth probably because of the adoption and addiction issues and borderline personality traits. She was doing well when she was in the first sober house and I believe in my heart that if she would maintain sobriety she could work on the other issues, but she can't. In your son's case I'm not sure even you know the real root of his problems and so it's harder to find where to start. I wish we could lock up both our difficult child's and give them personal counseling for years so that they finally accept themselves and learn how to live inside their skin. I think you are doing the best you can now, sending him the letter and trying to forgot for a while. I don't know the answer for either of us. Nancy [/QUOTE]
