[QUOTE="KFld, post: 53588, member: 2442"] I have to say I agree with what she said about him not living at home. I think he/or someone, should be looking into some type of halfway house environment. I think he's just going to fall right back into his old habits by coming back home. The comment easy child made about being glad he was home for his Senior year should help you make that decision. I do not like the comment she made about his prognosis being grim. When my difficult child first got involved in the juvenile court system when he was like 12 or 13, because of a paintball incident, the judge ordered him to counseling. We made an appointment for him to see a women who told my husband and I after just meeting with him a few times that "some kids are just destined to end up in jail". We left, I went home and called the facility and told them he would not be coming back and revoked any authorizations I had signed to allow her to release any information on him and we found someone else for him to go to. You know what the funniest part is, the facility this women worked at is the outpatient mental health facility that I work at now, and she is no longer here. This way way before I got a job here, but she was here when I first started and everytime I saw her I cringed. I could not believe someone who was supposed to help and support people could make that kind of comment. I think your gut is telling you this is not a good person for your son to see, so I would follow your gut and find someone else. I know from where I work that there are many counselors who aren't worth the office room they take up, and there are others who are fantastic at what they do. It's just not always easy finding the right one. Good Luck!! Follow your gut [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
