[QUOTE="Steely, post: 320994, member: 3301"] I have the power, because I have chosen to mandate he get the help. At anytime I can say, be free. However he does not have one life skill. If the program kicks him out he will be on the street without a hs diploma, job skills, money, etc. Ideally the program was supposed to mentor him, and help him get ready for the world. That is/was the goal of the program. Without this program I feel confident he will need some other sort of support/help/program in order to succeed. I have chosen to have him in this program because I thought it was the best, up until now. But there are few out there for 19 year olds. It is not really fair for me to just dump Matt on the street without support - it would be like putting a 4 week old puppy on the street. All this time the program was supposed to be helping him to be independent - I guess because of Matt's non compliance they have not been able to do that. Now they are trying in a last ditch effort to break him of his non-compliance so that he can progress forwards and learn life. I don't know. It is all more complicated than my brain can comprehend.
