[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 203791, member: 3419"] Steely, I know you are stressing. {{hugs}} I'm hoping and thinking that from what you've told us about Matt, that he is resilient and he will overcome this. Nothing it with-o it's problems and nothing happens with-o effort. He's still supposed to be with-people who are skilled in their field so I hope they are helping him through this. How did you find out? Did they call you? I do not think you made the wrong decision. Any decision or placement is fraught with-what-ifs and errors, and when you take into consideraton the fact that anything can happen--people get sick, prescriptions get lost, the weather turns crummy--it's no surprise that at some point Matt would rebel. I would suggest giving him some time with this downward turn b4 you consider rescuing him, hard as that may sound. He won't know if he's got it in him unless he is tried under pressure. I don't know if the system is backfiring, as you say, or just that Matt has found his limits and needs to learn how to deal with-his own issues. (I am saying this under the assumption that he is back on his medications after the snafu, and fed up with-all the moves in such a short time, not that they've deliberately done something to him or have been more incompetent than usual.) He wouldn't ditch them and sneak home to you would he? [/QUOTE]
