[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 64328, member: 1233"] At age 12 we put my son in a psychiatric hospital. It was a residential program. They kept him for 4 months. They were strict but not mean, and I haveno hesitation to slap him back in. He did not want to go. I packed some clothes, put them in the back of the station wagon, and then we invited him to "go for a ride" with us. After a verbal argument, he got in the car. He was quiet the whole way there (1 1/2 hours. He was on a dual-diagnosis unit. Children with more htan one problem. Sub abuse was in a different wing. It took 3 months and a mom wiht intense determination to crack him. To get him to admit that HE was the reason he was in there. The therapist and one of the nurses especially saw through him and fought like demons to keep him in. (Of course insurance wanted him out after a week!) With the way things are going now I may have to dig up the lists of placements again. He is NOT coming back here to live. Good Luck, Susie [/QUOTE]
