[QUOTE="DDD, post: 508952, member: 35"] Actually I think that prior to your meeting you need to analyze any and all supports that Department of Juvenile Justice might be able to offer for the benefit of your difficult child. in my humble opinion it's time for you to do solitary brainstorming making a list of every conceivable thing that could be offered to insure his successful transition. Maybe even do research on what transitional steps are available in your area or in other areas of the country. See what you can wrap your head around as helpful or potentially beneficial. Then when you have your meeting ask them if they can share what they have to offer to juveniles to help them with the transition back into the family environment and community. Make notes, ask questions and if you have on "your" list a support that is not offered by them ask if it is doable. I agree that it may be necessary to playact a bit to stifle your resentments. on the other hand this is HUGE! Although I wouldn't personally communicate it to them, honestly your difficult children transitional success should include their involvement via plans that are directly aimed at giving him the best chance to function appropriately. Even for kids with no history of violence the change from full institutionalization to the freedom of home is difficult and confusing. I'm so glad that things are moving forward. Fingers crossed.
