[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 402286, member: 1233"] Janet and Sharon have excellent points. IF he is sincere it is a good start. Not showing his therapist there is NOT a good sign. he likely doesn't want them to know about the drugs he is using and it may be a way of testing you to see if you will "rat him out" even if it means that he stays in longer. Heck, he may even be trying to get into trouble so that he can stay there until he legally doesn't have to live with you and you don't legally have any authority over him. That is a guess and probably not true, but it could be true. It would be more believable if he had confessed to some things you don't know about or suspect strongly. It is easy to tell Mom that you have done things that she caught you doing or has asked you about or you know you left signs about. it is HARD to tell people, esp mom, about the rest of the difficult child stuff you have done. Whatever drugs he admits to, strongly suspect others also. You may consider giving him a week to tell the therapist aabout the drug use and then telling the people at the facility yourself. This is a safety issue for him and the other kids. They think the other kids are taking their medications so if they are in need of serious medical care it could cause real problems. Ditto for difficult child who is taking drugs he isn't being rx'd. If he was unconscious or something (G-d forbid!) then they might give him a drug that interacts wtih whatever he is taking and it could be a huge problem. [/QUOTE]
