[QUOTE="Suz, post: 76174, member: 29"] I agree with your parents. I think you are setting him up for failure. A month is still honeymoon time. I hope I am wrong. I would have him (1) go with you; (2) stay with a trusted friend; or (3) hire a housesitter to stay with him at the house. If he does well under any of those three scenarios, that's a positive step and works towards gaining more trust and freedom, without taking such a huge risk so soon. I like what Witz said... <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">from the safety of her office, it's your difficult child's therapist's job to believe in his successes. It should also be her job to understand that you don't have to have the same level of optimism that she does. </div></div> Easy for her (the therapist) to say. She doesn't have to live with the consequences if they aren't good. Suz [/QUOTE]
