[QUOTE="PiscesMom, post: 675566, member: 19889"] The cd was actually supposed to be for him. So he can stay crazy, I guess. He hung up with me pretty fast, like I am just a means to get him out, or to get him stuff he wants. So now maybe he will have no reason to talk to me. :( A bit off topic, but my thoughts on conspiracies is that humans are not really capable of keeping secrets, lol. I never thought of them as harmful, but yes, they certainly do target groups, and that certainly doesn't help matters, and could be dangerous. You mention self pity. Sounds just like my son! I think I will keep that in mind when I talk to him. He has much bigger problems of course, but self pity isn't healthy. One thing I wonder about, is since he arrived there, I had one youth worker call me and tell me is was there safe and sound, and I could call him. And I have talked to the youth workers when I have called for him. But no higher up professional has contacted me. I don't know what I can expect from them as a parent? I guess I could email the person who helped me get him in and ask. I wouldn't mind coaching from them, knowing what kind of therapy they do, etc. I am not the custodial parent, so maybe I am forgotten? What is normal from these places? He has been there exactly one week now. [/QUOTE]
