[QUOTE="klmno, post: 375407, member: 3699"] difficult child just called- I'm surprised they let him call tonight but I guess they are giving him a break about it because he'd only left this place to go to court and they know he's awaiting transfer to state Department of Juvenile Justice. Anyway, he was talking about where he went wrong, there was nothing anyone could have done or not done- he said it was the mind set he got into in order to survive Department of Juvenile Justice and he got used to it there and kept the mindset when he got out because it seemed like too much of a sudden change and a lot of stress and sudden freedom. Ok. He said he does think he needs to talk to someone and has started talking a lot to a certain staff person there. That does make me wonder if this is why the pastor called and mentioned a couple of times about difficult child needing to be careful who he started openoning up to and who he looked up to and made it clear he meant staff. He said difficult child should stick to opening up to Department of Juvenile Justice therapist and pastor and not staff. I'll try to see difficult child within a week to forward this message to him. It didn't sound like he was saying anything that could be used against him but some of the general staff do manipulate and use these kids. Still, it was good to hear difficult child was thinking about stuff like this. I just have very serious doubts in his ability to survive a year or closer to two in Department of Juvenile Justice without giving into the typical mentality of he boys there again. [/QUOTE]
