[QUOTE="Coping11, post: 675784, member: 19899"] Welcome, from another new member. I sympathize with your situation. I encourage you to call the police when he gets violent; you must make it clear that such behavior is not acceptable in your home. When my daughter was 13, we had her admitted to her first treatment center. Because of the extreme situation she was in, and because of her extreme resistance to treatment back then (which sometimes caused her to become violent physically), we decided to send our son to our relatives' for the night and had people come to our home to forcible take her there. She went kicking and screaming. In her case, her health was compromised (she suffers from eating disorders), so we felt that that was warranted. I don't know if you feel the same, since your child is not in a life-threatening condition (at least not right now...) The biggest issue is, that you can't control him. Even if you do somehow convince him to go, you cannot force him to really be helped by the program. This is his journey. There's nothing we can do about that. [/QUOTE]
