[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 276451, member: 1550"] I thought about this a lot after I read it. If it were me, and I was dealing with a child who'd been in so much trouble he was now in juvy, I would warn him (whether he liked it or not) that, no matter what he hears, I am not at all sure he can come home. When he blasted me, I'd calmly tell him I'm thinking of all options, including foster care. I don't really keep up on stories of everyone here because there are too many people. So I don't know your particular story--sorry :raspberry-tounge:. But if he was a drug user/violent/out-of-control--at fifteen, he is probably big and strong. There is no way I'd allow him to just come home. I'm not sure I'd want him back home at all. My daughter acted bipolar while she was using drugs. In fact, now that she is clean, I can see that she was, simply put, a drug addict. And if your son is using drugs, that could be why he has his diagnosis. Or he may have it and be self-medicating, HOWEVER you don't HAVE to self-medicate with bipolar. I don't. That is his decision, and it will continue to make him sick and dangerous. (Sorry if drug use isn't his problme--I'm assuming drug use is how he got where he's at) I believe it's within your rights to request foster care for him or Residential Treatment Center (RTC). You deserve to be safe and at peace, in spite of his choices. (((Hugs))) and good luck. [/QUOTE]
