[QUOTE="mentalcase, post: 745704, member: 23458"] Thank you for the replies. @ Copa- I've read littleboylosts posts and they've given me alot of hope. My son has never had any other treatment besides the individual counseling and I didn't see him taking that too seriously. As the court date has come closer, though, he seemed to have a moment of clarity (I'm hoping it's legit) where he said he knew he had to stop using drugs. The thing is that he thinks he can just abstain from them and everything will be ok. Of course, the reality is different. I know the importance of a good recovery program. Helpless - I'm sorry about your situation too. Three years is a long time to be going through all of this. Everything fell apart for us pretty recently - about 6 months ago. I can't imagine living in crisis mode even longer than that. I saw my son go from a sweet, smart, charismatic child to a shell of a person with no conscience. It's been awful. Sometimes the situation is so surreal I find myself asking, "how did we get here?" but here we are...I hope things get better for you and your son. This court situation might be what both our children need to get court mandated treatment. I try to stay hopeful. [/QUOTE]
