[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 255311, member: 2315"] Gwenny, I am sorry that the professionals are not holding out much hope for your difficult child's future. I was given a similar picture for my difficult child when he was diagnosis RADD at age 15. I was told I would need the police and that the prognosis was not good. It was true for the most part. I have been through alot with my difficult child and it was not easy. That said, I never stopped advocating for him and never stopped trying to get him necessary help. I think a good choice in your situation is to have him live away from you but try to advocate for him and get interventions for him that might help. No one's future is set in stone and sometimes kids that seem to be doomed do turn themselves around. It is usually a long and hard process and it often does iinvolve the judical system. Truly if I had been given the option of having my difficult child live away from home when he was younger I think I would have taken it. Especially knowing what I know now. I would have spendt more time nurturing my other kids and grandkids and pursuing a life/career of my own. I gave up 18 years protecting difficult child from himself and others from difficult child. It Hoovered. Do your research, learn about all options and keep an open mind. -RM [/QUOTE]
