[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 487176, member: 12490"] Just throwing this out there.....there are therapeutic wilderness programs that take unwilling kids - they come in the middle of the night to your home and take them...period. The kids are usually quite furious about it for a few days, untill they start to undersand why they are there. They are surrounded by kids form similar circumstances, some who have reached acceptance and some who have not. These kids, all of them together, finally somehow convince each other that there is a better way to live. Even thought wilderness did not provide a total solution for us, it was where my son started to see what he was doing to his life and ours. We have had bumps, but he has never been the angry, defiant, depressed kid that he was before we sent him there. We used his college money to do it....figured the way things were going, he wasn't going to college anyway.....I wish there had been a better, less expensive way to reach him - he had become unreachable....
