[QUOTE="slsh, post: 377560, member: 8"] Hi GB and welcome, though so very sorry you had to find us. I agree that the very first step is that you and your wife have got to get on the same page. It's essential. It's quite unfair for her to expect you both to continue "covering" for difficult child with- his PO, yet call [U]you[/U] when it hits the fan at home. How does your wife see your lives in a year? How is this situation going to get any better? What is difficult child learning from all this? Until you, the parenting *team*, are willing to use all resources available to hold him accountable for his choices, he is in my humble opinion going to continue to completely run roughshod over your home and your life. How is he doing in school? Any chance he'd cooperate with a psychiatric/substance abuse evaluation? And why on earth do you have to pay $19,000 a month if he's in juvie??? In the meantime, at the very least I'd lock up anything and everything of value in your home. Remove it completely - especially easy child's belongings. He/she deserves to come home to things as they were left. Rent a storage unit and put the key in a safe deposit box. [/QUOTE]
