Your husband's idea is a good one giving him an apartment. Maybe you could get a boarder who for staying with your boy, being his confidant cheerleader stay without paying rent , food etc. Your kid would need some structured day, work/study etc . The PO could supervise etc . I think this will be cheaper than RTCs. Sending prayers and positive thoughts in your direction Allan [/QUOTE]
