[QUOTE="wantpeace, post: 517923, member: 14002"] Nancy, I do think he's scared. He mentioned to the counselor that he doesn't want to go back to school because most of the kids there are users. He also goes back to court in three weeks, so I'm sure that's weighing heavily on his mind. To top it off, he found out that his ex-girlfriend who betrayed him when they were together is now dating his best friend. I told him about it because I didn't want him to find out when he got out of inpatient. I also want him to understand these aren't true friends. The facilidty he's at wants the kids to be in treatment willingly, so I don't think the counselors try too hard to convince them to stay if they want to leave. In fact, she gave him an extra assignment to complete tonight. If he doesn't do it, it sounds like they won't let him complete the program. She recommends revoking his bond if he doesn't want to cooperate. That's not a simple process either. I know he's still hurting from the divorce and from not having his father in his life. My kids went through way too much and that makes it very difficult for me when I have to use tough love to teach them lessons. [/QUOTE]
