[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 296374, member: 2459"] After reading what you said about your conversation with difficult child tonight and his interaction with your family, my first impression is: He left when he decided he wasn't getting the complete and adoring attention of the household (you had expectations that he didn't want to follow), everyone's world didn't revolve around him and he was expected to be an active part of the family. He didn't get all of these things or didn't want to follow reasonable rules so he decided to leave. My gut feeling? He did this as punishment for you all. Now, he's decided that he's punished you enough and wants to come home so you will all be so grateful he decided to re-join the family and he can continue to live like a king. To me, it doesn't sound like he's ready to come home at all. I would be very curious as to what is said in counseling Monday. Of course, he isn't really being helped in any way at your sister's as you said so I don't really know what to say. But...that's just my personal opinion and it's only based on what I've read here. Whatever happens...HUGS [/QUOTE]
