[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar I, post: 75435, member: 3755"] Hi, and welcome to the site. Is it possible for you to present your difficult child with the rules of the house before he is discharged? And in addition to house rules, to present your expectations regarding school/work/driving and insurance? Our goal for the kids, wherever they have been, is to help them achieve the tools they will need for a successful life. If difficult child says right up front he will not cooperate, then I think you need to lay out the consequences for him now, when there are therapists there to help him with other choices he might make. From the way you are describing the situation with your son, it does not sound like you hold out much hope for a successful transition. How DO you feel? What would your best case scenario look like? Have you been clear with your son about your expectations once he is home? It is best to be proactive. Others of us will be along soon with different advice. [img]:smile:[/img] Again, welcome.
