[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 639239, member: 13558"] At least your difficult child would communicate with the counselor, mine would either not talk or walk out and slam the door. It's very hard to find one they trust. At that age they still think they know everything and the world revolves around them. My difficult child started his gfgdom at a very early age and I had him in as many programs as I could afford. Two times he was court ordered, both times for nine to twelve month programs. For mine, I think all he did was learn to lie and manipulate better lol. It's hard, but in my opinion, very worthwhile, maybe one day it will all sink in (for him). I think when they are ready to 'face facts' and meet you even half way you'll know it. I have friends and relative that still are 'helping' almost 40yo difficult children. They remain the child as long as they are in the parent's home. I would not let him move back in either, by the time my difficult child was sixteen he had already (with his friends help) stolen so much from me. In some weird way they do not seeing it as stealing, it's where they grew up, it's your fault they were born, so you owe it to them. (((hugs and blessings))) [/QUOTE]
