[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 56910, member: 3305"] Hi Nola, Just wanted to reach out and give you some additional reasons to have hope. Our 18 yr old son was very much a full blown insubordiant, bipolar, defiant, lying, theiving drug using difficult child by age 14. We sent him to drug rehab for 4 1/2 months. He was hospitalized for 2 weeks and dxd bipolar. He was kicked out of regular school within 4 days of a new year and sent to alternative school for insubordination. He was also sent to Jail school for acting out at alternative school. We tried a program a judge guaranteed would "save your child" (if willing to spend the 30k yearly tuition)...Our son was going to be shipped off to Jamaica after only 9 days of this program. Yep, he was so hard for them to handle they were sending him to what they referred to as their more "punitive program". I would not let that happen and we quickly headed up to Montanna and brought him back home. Then we tried homeschooling and a church home school group. Then, came probation in Dec 05 through Dec 06, Now... My 18 year old difficult child is in the Army. He is married and expecting a baby in November. It is like he is going through a total transformation. I can't say enough good things about him today. I am so very proud of him. by the way, we had 2 difficult child's. and older brother...well, the jury is still out. Remember, as my husband used to say... "It's only have time...it's not over yet" Hang in there. hugs and care, Lovemysons [/QUOTE]
