[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 444933, member: 1514"] K, personally, I think you are very right on the money with your feelings here. difficult child seems to have all the lingo down pat with what he spouted at you. "Institutionalized" "thinks he is bipolar again and needs medications" "blacking out and has anger control issues" These arent words a desperate kid uses to his mom, they are words locked up teens learn from other locked up teens on how to manipulate parents and others on the outside to attempt to get out of some sort of trouble. Kids dont sit around in the day room playing cards and worry about becoming too used to being in juvy that they will become institutionalized and decide they like 3 hots and a cot so they will go to prison next. "Hey Joe, lets make plans for next year to meet up at the Spring St. Hotel okay? Cool dude!" (Im assuming it is still on Spring St...lol) I have no idea how much time these new charges are going to add to his time. I am surprised they didnt add on any actual street charges considering he assaulted a guard. They must like him. That does say something for him. I do hope he isnt headed into the gangs. Maybe they can move him into another area to help squelch that interest. If not, well, its his problem and he will be signing his own future. I do think you are looking at conduct disorder here and not a darn thing you did or didnt do. Dont blame yourself. [/QUOTE]
