[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 492619, member: 3710"] Thanks for all the suggestions about making rehab part of the sentence for difficult child. We have a lawyer who will be in court tomorrow, and I'll ask him about that, and also about drug court. Our lawyer is trying to reduce the burglary charge to theft, which is a misdemeanor and won't be as bad as a felony for difficult child. We have letters from the rehab center and a private therapist about our difficult child's substance problems, and that is why he took a woman's purse and was charged with burglary. I think that difficult child has been cooperating at rehab because of this court date, and he will be angry and in denial when we take him back to rehab tomorrow. I have told that counselors at rehab that they may see a completely different side of difficult child after tomorrow, because he says he does not need rehab anymore and he wants to leave immediately. I can see that it would help us if the court orders rehab for difficult child, because then our son can be angry at the court instead of the counselors or his parents. He has another court date in 3 weeks for shoplifting, so it seems like it never ends with this kid. Whoever said that teens are adults when they become 18 never met our son! [/QUOTE]
