[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 486027, member: 11001"] I hear every bit of that. My daughters friends are horrid. I have to say it, all from messed up homes, mostly living in poverty, some gang involved even etc.....This is a sign of drug use-you should say it. I don't think we have to accept bad friends for our kids. I refuse to let them in my home if they are really bad. She knows not to even bring them around (this comes with its own problems as she runs off to them). These kids are not friends usually-they are druggies, big difference. They often do all kinds of awefull things to each other. Sounds like he has had his share of tough stuff. I dont know what Dystemia is? Do you mean moderate depression (Dysthymia?) How is the school handling his behavior? I agree that you should not pay him a dime for doing chores. He lives there and he should work in the home. I would not give him a red cent if you dont trust where it goes. We have not given our daughter money since she was 13. We provide the things she needs-just the basics. We won't even give her a bus pass because she runs off with it. We placed our daughter in a private Residential Treatment Center (RTC) when she was 14 years old after therapy, medication, 2 psychiatric hospital stays and so on. We found out she had been raped and repeatedly sexually abused. We would not have known unless she had been there. We had [B]no[/B] idea. (This alone makes the whole thing worth sending her away) She also went to a state run Residential Treatment Center (RTC) which cost us quite a lot as well as we had to give temporary custody to the stae and pay child support. That is a whole nightmare. There are kids that really benefit from being away from home. It made my daughter worse each time and she resents us for sending her away. We don't regret anything. We did the best we could each time to keep her safe. The peace in our home to heal was worth it as well.Both places offered dual treatment services-drug and mental health help-though the state run outfit did a poor job dealing with health and mental health care-they did teach her valuable skills. The anger makes me very worried that he is more severely depressed-boys often show depression with anger-not taking medications is scary as well if they are in a bad place.been there done that.Does the school counselor know about this? Alcohol is a depressant as well-could make things worse. [/QUOTE]
