[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 252122, member: 5941"] Just putting my two cents in, I would vote for keeping your son in the program as long as you possibly can. The situation you described in your home sounded so awful, that I think it will take a while for the changes to really become part of his behavior. And I am learning the hard way that bringing a child home before they are ready is a big mistake. My son has been home from a six week diagnostic program and drug rehab (he was smoking a lot of weed and has emotional problems as well) for three weeks and he is already pushing against our rules and I just learned that he has smoked weed again. The representatives of the place he was at in Pennsylvania warned us against bringing him home, that he should have gone to an Residential Treatment Center or Therapeutic Boarding school, that his recovery is not finished, but we didn't listen (for reasons I won't go into now). there is a possibility that he will either go to juvie or an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) very soon. Congratulations for having the strength and love to send him away to get the help he needed, and for protecting your easy child. I have a 12 year old easy child who has been relatively healthy, but her older brother and sister's antics have scarred her emotionally. I'm trying to protect her now as well as getting help for her 16 yr old brother. But whatever you decide, I'm sending my support to you. [/QUOTE]
