[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 694702, member: 20490"] Well it's not going to be so simple. One night at the shelter and he is desperate to come back here. He is approaching it logically, and came up with a written safety plan and behavior contract for us to consider. He would be gone during the day and never here without a parent home. Take his medications and see his counselor weekly. Willingly help with chores, no negative attitude, no bickering with siblings or us, no disrespectful behavior. Pretty much anything we have ever nagged him about in the last two years is on that list he wrote. He also said he will provide his own food and transportation. If he violates any part, the agreement is immediately void. I am not sure what to do. I see his point. The shelter is far away, and we are close to where all his programs and appointments are. He is sleeping at the shelter again tonight as I told him I need time to think and I don't want to feel pressured. I am thinking I may want to talk to the Job Corps rep and get a firm timeline. Son is saying 2-3 weeks. He doesn't have a bedroom here (we moved things around after he left) so he would just be sleeping on the couch. I don't know....I feel we have been down this road so many times. Still, he has never had such a clear cut plan in place before. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
