[QUOTE="buddy, post: 542127, member: 12886"] It is really hard having to bring a 15 year old everywhere. i barely do anything except tasks he likes when he is with me. I am glad I get a few hours each week without him. I love summer, but minus some school years, I do love when he goes to school. Luckily Q has no clue about ditching school or how to go buy drugs etc. It would be really hard to go back to a different parenting stage if he already had that freedom to go off with friends, make plans, etc. Heck, just going back on supervised play time outside of our own house has been a nightmare. I think you have no choice right now, either direct supervision or do what you are doing, finding an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). From what other parents have said here in the past, it seems like settings like boarding schools would not be an option for him at this point. He could do the same kinds of things he is doing now but be living with any bad influences he might connect with. And you would be so far away. I suppose there are any number of specialty boarding schools so it will all depend on whether or not they have a program for kids like your difficult child. There is an answer out there, but the amount of digging and negotiating is exhausting. I pray you get a job that falls right in line with your needs, AND that husband can see how important this is to do NOW....there is little time left where you have options because of his age. I forget, along with the new testing did you say you are going to do an assessment for FASD or is the current psychiatric including that in the protocols he is doing now? I might be forgetting ....I will try to look up the thread where you talked about that. Maybe it wasn't an issue for him. (as I type I am feeling unsure if you had even said anything about that.....I'm having a senior moment) Sending good juju for the job, would be great for you to have that security AND just to have another focus...one that uses your talents.
