[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 10318, member: 2315"] Timer, Since the PO hasn't returned any of my calls since difficult child made the suicide gesture I am thinking I have little to no influence with her. I will call again today. I'll keep you all posted. Right now difficult child comming home to us is not an option. Unfortunately like others here we might have to concider it if we cannot find a place for him. He needs to be with others who will hold him accountable for his actions. Putting him into an apartment of his own is not going to do that so I am against that. I am here alone most of the time. husband works in a city about two hours from here. His is a long day. I would be left dealing with difficult child on my own for most of the time and I just do not want to do that again. A sober house in the community might be a good alternative. Then I could moniter difficult child and get him plugged into therapy and other services but not deal with him 24/7. This is the scary part of having a difficult child in the prison system. They are not rehabilitated when they get out. They need services and are often blocked from them. In my difficult child's case, because of his violent rage last year he has an assault charge.
