[QUOTE="Karenvm, post: 685645, member: 15766"] KT, I have been where you are! My son sounds SO similar! I too have seen him handcuffed (after I called the police on him for smoking pot in my house), another time police had to be called to take him to psychiatric ER, where he was in an adolescent psychiatric unit for 5 days (twice), etc. It's horrible. I've cried that same horrible cry, sitting in my car after leaving him at the hospital, just not understanding WHY. I too, looked at the wilderness programs, boarding schools, etc. He spent one month in a pediatric psychiatric facility, though I honestly don't know that he really even needed to be there (I just needed him out of my house!). He is now 20, and by no means perfect. I don't have any good advice for you, but please know you are not alone! This board is such a great source of comfort, just hearing from others, and knowing that it is not only YOUR child that has these issues, and also that you did not cause this. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
