[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 259059, member: 5941"] I emailed my ex-husband (it's tax season and he's at his office on the weekends) with my request: ask the district to put him in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) with a half-way decent academic program, if they can find such a place, or at least someplace he can work on his recovery and be physically away from his bad-news friends. I don't see any other option. If he stays at home we will never get him to go to school. I just foresee more aggravation and stress on the rest of us. I'm ready to snap from the tension, and my ex is not far behind. It's nearly as bad as it was before he left for Pennsylvania back in December, and I vowed I would not relive that. If my ex doesn't cooperate (he and I share legal custody but son lives with him) I plan to tell him that I wash my hands. I have a 12 year old to protect. Easier said than done, I know that, but ex has his own profound psychological issues that have never been addressed and I've been looking the other way for too long. I have not yet grieved for the son I once had and seem to have lost, because I didn't want to admit to myself that perhaps he is gone for good. [/QUOTE]
