[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 746724, member: 15801"] Well I had a call with the program and my son today. It was extremely frustrating.... my son is extremely difficult and frustrating to say the least. Basically the program is saying they have some minimum expectations... he needs to check in with them every day by at least text and he has to be respectful. And he should meet with the therapist once a week. He doesnt think he needs it... oh and he doesnt need medications because he isnt drinking and he isn’t depressed (according to him). Ugh. So the program doesnt feel if they arent providing him services that they can offer him anything and they should find him different services, When they said this my heart sank to say the least. EVentualy I said to my son the thing is you may not think they are providing you with anaything but they are providing your dad and I with something, which is peace of mind so we dont worry as much and can sleep at night,,,,,si if you are no longer participating you are taking something away from us. At which point he totally capitulated to tehri terms. I am not sure why....not sure if he figured we would stop paying rent or what, I suspec the capitulation is temporary.... but at least it got us a few more days and I will talk to the program some more tomorrow.\ I dont have a good feeeling about this at all, I have been here before. My son is at that place where he feels like he is doing pretty well, he knows iti all, has it figured it out and doesn’t need the program or any help.... and so is headed for a fall.I sus[ect we are going to need to let him fall..... but I am hoping at least if I talk to them that at least they can be there to help hi pick him pick up the pieces when that happens. Ugh TL [/QUOTE]
