[QUOTE="oceans, post: 33684, member: 2687"] You are feeling like you are letting your son down. I can totally understand. You are probably having these doubts because it is taking so long to find a placement for him. I think that if he was already placed, and you saw the program and what it could offer him, it would seem a little easier. It will always be difficult, but is it reality that he could come home right now and stay away from the problems that got him in this situation? If he came home and life continued in the same way as before, then what? Would things be worse for you and your family? You would need to start all over again to get to where you are right now. He stands more chance of making it at home if he goes through a good structured program first. He is also learning that there are consequences to his actions. That you can't always change things and make things better for him. It will make him think before he acts in the future. I do understand where you are coming from...I am certain that I would be going through the same emotions as you are. [/QUOTE]
