[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 13701, member: 1436"] Sue, What a choice you face. It's so hard to know which is the right direction to take on this adventure we travel with our kids. I sent mine to Buffalo with blind trust, expecting him to stay, and four days later he found his way back home. On that journey---one where he chose the destination and the choices---he grew. I wasn't there---and he grew. I wasn't "handling" things for him---and he grew. He came home changed. He is the same today as he was when he arrived back here--and still growing. He is now in a "group" home/sober house/recovery house---whatever the name, they are all the same. He is making sound decisions. He still has some issues, but he has grown enough to work through them on his own. I hope that thank you (and Stardude and all the other difficult children) can reach that place. It is magical when it happens. [/QUOTE]
