[QUOTE="sail24, post: 730005, member: 5751"] We’ve been researching therapeutic schools for 2 weeks. We’ve talked to many and still haven’t found the right one. This is a mental health issue with my son. We’ve been dealing with this from the moment we adopted him at birth. Looking at him you’d think he’s adorable, smiley, happy, easygoing kid. If only. Yes he’s adorable but so manipulative. He has a pattern. He walks into a new situation, immediately wraps the girls around his fingers then plays the roll of the victim. They just want to protect him and nurture him. He loves the attention and realizes that girls are much easier to be friends with. He doesn’t like to be competitive. Then he starts lying, they see him differently and they start to pull away. Then he gets mad and verbally abusive towards them. The therapeutic settings work when a child can see themselves. He doesn’t see himself, he doesn’t take responsibility at all. He blames everyone. The cladding school he was in finally had enough. He was lying and stealing and nothing they tried could get him to take responsibility. The last straw happened when he stole money from another student’s room and it was caught on video. Even seeing the video, my son refused to own it. That’s when they told us they just couldn’t help him. It was a great school with many chances for kids to make mistakes and be accepted anyway. My kid just couldn’t fit in, the other kids were also working on themselves were tired of being blamed for his actions. Example: The head master’s wife died of cancer while my son was there causing the head master to be absent a lot over the last few months. Others were in charge, plenty of supervision. My child decides it’s the wife’s fault that she was dying causing her husband to not be on campus to keep him in line. Really, he blamed a woman for dying causing him to make really bad choices.
