[QUOTE="Karenvm, post: 581781, member: 15766"] Thank you again. We visited again today, and I honestly believe the staff is amazing. We met with difficult child and his therapist again, and it was really rough. difficult child just begging to go home, saying he is going crazy, etc. bottom line is he has no control, and admittedly hates it. His therapist does not mince words with him, she really calls him out on his lies and manipulation, in a way that no one has in the past. He just acts like he is just fine, and can control his pot use, etc. her point is that if that were the case, we all wouldn't be there today, and that he has to find a way to be honest with himself and be willing to address the reasons why he constantly lies, manipulates, etc. he cried, and was so frustrated, it really broke my heart. Therapist said today she felt he began to really open up a bit. But he is just so angry still. Barely said goodbye to us. Ugh. So so sad seeing him walk away with tears in his eyes. I think he refuses to believe there is a problem with his behavior, but I am hoping he will realize that he can't continue down this same path. Today, he promised that if we brought him home, he would be "perfect", would do anything he was told, etc. of course, I know that would not happen, and without addressing the real issues, he would be right back to his ways in no time. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, go through in my life. I hope that someday he realizes that we did this because we love him. [/QUOTE]
