[QUOTE="klmno, post: 184287, member: 3699"] Terry, just had another nagging thought- you said they mentioned yesterday "what would you do differently". psychiatrist used to say that to me, when difficult child's behavior changed from one wrong thing to another wrong thing. what I would do, and am doing, differently, is trying to find a different way to deal with it because they way we were approaching it did not solve the problem. The stealing went away, then it went to fire setting, then it went to going into other's property. My sincere concern for your son is that I see the pattern there of a doctor who says well, he quit doing that so let's keep things the way they are. But, your difficult child moves on to another illegal, socially unacceptable behavior, just like mine. That means something is going on witth him and this docs recommendations are not solving the underlying problem. My son has a crriminal record- the law in VA now is that felony offenses do NOT get expunged, even for juveniles. If the owner of the house had called police, your son would be facing this. Maybe the one conversation will stop the undie issue, but do you really believe his underlying issues (whatever they are) are resolved? I'm just concerned for him- I hope I'm not sounding critical of you because I know you want to pursue help for him. I just wish I could have/would have pushed for more than one opinion before my son ended up with a criminal record and suspended sentence to state dept of corrections. [/QUOTE]
