[QUOTE="Sumsky, post: 737613, member: 22893"] I do feel relief in some ways that my feelings have been validated. There will be no residential treatment at this point. The indicators do not show stepson as severe enough to need that type of treatment. Stepson is capable of turning this around, it’s a matter of being given a strict enough incentive to turn it around. And that is entirely in his hands. That is why we are looking to a different set of grandparents to help us. Stepson will love with them through treatment and will be evaluated along the way. As of right now stepson is perfectly content with the living arrangements and not coming back into our home because he has no restrictions or discipline at the great grandparents. The great grandparents will not cooperate with the restrictions that his therapist put in place. Stepson is to have absolutely NO internet access and they will not do that because they do not feel it’s fair to him. So, if he remains with them there is no chance of rehabilitation. However, he cannot come back to our home and residential will not accept him. So, if the other set of grandparent will not help us then our options are foster care and husband will not allow that to happen or staying with great grandparents until something like this happens again and then he will go into the legal system. All therapist and evaluator made it clear that if anything else happens in Amy way shape or form, they will bring the courts into it. At this point, I am relieved and although I will continue to support and participate in the counseling fully, I will not carry the burden on my own. My husband is going to have to step of to the plate and make this work. I will continue to observe and participate to make sure that I know what every situation involves but I will not take the reigns for his treatment. If he doesn’t get better, he doesn’t come home and my daughter is safe. I have done what I could, it’s time for others to get on board!!! [/QUOTE]
