[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 746239, member: 22819"] Wow. He checks everything on that list. I'm going to push for the new place, but I guess if he rather stay where he is, maybe I should honor his decision. I *did* have a breakthrough with the doctor in charge of the facility. It became evident during our conversation that he was under the impression that I was working against them, would believe everything L says, and would end up taking him out before the program is done. I don't know why he has that impression - because I call and ask questions? Anyway, he told me that he thought they *could* help L if I was completely on board and working with them as a united front. He asked me to speak harshly to L about his behavior, and to ask him to cooperate. When I finally got it through to him that it wasn't my intention to bring L home right away, and that I need him to get help, the tone of the conversation changed and I finally felt like we were really talking, instead of feeling like he thought I was just another scared, helpless mother who doesn't know anything about anything. It was biodad who told me that he talked to L and that L said this - about wanting to stay. So I don't know this firsthand, and it seems so strange after everything he said to me. He seemed so desperate to get out, and now he's willing to stay and complete the program. ? The psychiatrist, in his message to me about the EEG results, said that the drugs wouldn't work. So maybe they'll wean him off of them. I'd feel a lot better about this place if that were the case. I guess I have to wait until I can talk to L about it, but that might be days since they only allow calls on Saturday, unless I make a fuss. [/QUOTE]
