[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 204518, member: 1991"] "He may be stabilizing for the simple fact that he knows he's now safe." That was what I was thinking, too. Mind you, that doesn't mean he didn't need it - but it also indicates that he is trying hard to get control of himself as best as he can, which is a good sign. Hang in there. You made the decision, sounds like the place is good, he IS almost an adult so this 'incident' (or whatever we call it) is happening in a halfway house sort of way, you're long distance but still involved so it's not as if it's happening totally out of your influence; but as he's so close to adulthood, it's good for this to be happening now, while you ARE still in a position to have some level of control even form far away. It means that if/when this happens to him when he's more independent, hopefully it won't be too scary for him. As for the counsellor - she may have taken her sweet time deciding if the problem was serious enough to do something, but at least she stopped shilly-shallying and has finally put action in place. Be strong. This is going to keep happening until he is stable and has grown up a fair bit more. Marg [/QUOTE]
