[QUOTE="Suz, post: 296714, member: 29"] Hi Cakewalk, I didn't really expect you to be included in the appointment; I was more curious about the rides to and from and your conversations there. In PA a child can stop medical treatments at age 14 and that includes mental health treatment/medications. I don't know where you live but your hands might be tied as well. I was lucky because we didn't tell Rob what his rights were (lol!) and by the time he was old enough to want to discontinue things he was under the supervision of the Juvenile Justice System so he couldn't make independent decisions anyway. I guess my point is that you might have already lost any real "say" in your son's therapy unless he approves your being involved. If that is the case, hopefully his desire to reunite with his family will supercede any reservations he might have. I am impressed with your patience and calm. Given your last few months, I know that I would be frantic for answers and explanations and diagnoses and treatment plans. Perhaps when you call his therapist you can talk about family counseling and go from there. Suz [/QUOTE]
