[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 660018, member: 4152"] This placement is a positive first step. Sure, he's angry and belligerent. He's lost all his power, so he is lashing out double time. But, it was your best bet. This way he is away from drugs, away from destructive peers, getting counseling...probably both group and individual counseling and perhaps down the road, you and your wife will be brought in to work out issues with him. This is also a great time for you and your wife to get some, more than likely, much needed rest and counseling for yourselves. No doubt you've been living in something akin to a war zone. I think it's great that you hung up on him. This is the real world and it's high time he decided to join it. He is not a toddler and even if he was, he would be put in a time out. If you speak to people in that fashion, they are going to: tune you out, unfriend you, fire you, ignore you, call the police, punch you in the nose....etc. they are NOT going to "take it," and neither should you. Plenty of time to prepare for when he gets out of the tx facility. If he returns to your home, you'll put rules/boundaries in place. And your attitude will be "take it or leave it son" life moves on. Might sound a little foreign to you right this second, but enjoy life ...go to the movies, nice dinners with your spouse, weekend away.... Blessings. [/QUOTE]
