[QUOTE="klmno, post: 405394, member: 3699"] I agree...and PO said if he comes straight home he'll be on house arrest. difficult child is trying to pull the same BS as he did last time. Maybe at some point during his first commitment he really did mean those things but he didn't by the time he got out and I think he's worse now. Mentally, I can't help but to keep going back to what that psychiatrist said before difficult child was committed the first time- " he will learn to identify too much with incarcerated boys if he goes there now because he's too vunerable and susceptible to getting other boys' approval; his best chance is a therapuetic Residential Treatment Center (RTC) where he can get intensive individual therapy and you two can get intensive family therapy while he's out of the home". So what option is there now? None that I see. Do you have any idea how I cry over this? Not that it was a sure thing, but it was his best hope and if the courts people- PO and GAL were so RIGHT- then why has that psychiatrist's words proven true? So I'm supposed to blame it ALL on my son because now he's 16 instead of just turning 14 and write him off as a loss or failure while no one else can be held accountable for ignoring what psychiatrists said? Sorry- that angwer isn't directed toward you- it's that blasting stupid PO and GAL who were so stupid to take my bro's word over all the profs. [/QUOTE]
