[QUOTE="maril, post: 256554, member: 5937"] I am sorry to hear it has been a long hard road for you all. We have a child older than yours, who has had issues in school (not behavioral) for years that were not able to be well addressed; who, in recent years has the added burden of severe emotional outbursts and has become dependent on substances; a very nice but mixed up young man, who bounces back and forth between trying to cooperate and follow through with treatment then rejecting help and going off the deep end (his choosing to seek out friendship with other troubled peers only reinforces his lifestyle). We, too, are still on the path to try and help him and have not had much success at this point. It is very fortunate that your daughter does so well in her studies. Does she have the support of her older sisters, too? Does her treatment include medication, and, if so, has there been any success? If she did come home, would you consider looking into wraparound services for help for her? I am sure that as her mom it is distressing to see her struggle so after all the attempts to help; I am sending encouragement and hugs to you. Going through the normal changes teens experience (hormonal, etc.) probably makes it even more difficult; at least it seems so with my son. Best wishes to you in the coming months and I will cross my fingers that whatever decisions are made will be helpful for her. [/QUOTE]
