[QUOTE="DDD, post: 216836, member: 35"] OTC's have been the spring board to substance abuse for many of our families...mostly ingesting but sometimes snorting. The whole scene is confusing and frightening and much like trying to work your way through a mine field living in fear that an explosion can take you or your difficult child at most any time. On the bright side you sound fortunate to have as Ex who is communicating with you and prepared to word as a unit for your child's benefit. That is HUGELY helpful. Very often pitting one parent against the other gives difficult children alot more freedom to increase their drug use with-o fear of being detected. Finding help depends on your location, your assets, your peer group, the social services available and the quality of the medical services. Research is paramount. Network like your life depends on it and do NOT trust the recommendation of any one person. CD parents have had some terrible results because "one" Judge "knew the right place", or "one" social service director "knew the best spot". All of us want "the" answer ASAP because we want our "old kid" back pronto. Work expediently but thoroughly and then give your best shot at helping him. Learn NOW that it may takes multiple placements, setbacks, and years so you are prepared for the fight of your life. It is not for the faint at heart. Use this CD family as a place to whine, cry, ask questions, rant etc..........it's as valuable as any professional help you can find for you! Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
