[QUOTE="peg2, post: 64606, member: 2133"] I don't want to "burst your bubble" but my son has been at 2 facilities, one residential and 1 group home, had been away from home for a total of about 2 1/2 years(on and off) left one facility, came home, had to go back in again, came home last August. From your list of expectations, my son learned(or chooses not to)none of those things you ask. Actually, he knows rigth from wrong, but refuses to follow my rules. Hates me and wishes I wasn't his mother! The placements were good, but only kept him safe, he must choose to do the right thing on his own. He oculdn't live with me, so had to live somewhere. It is more of a long respite and although the therapists are good, if the child has serious issues that will never go away, I don't think any facility can change him. My son suffers from abandonment from his dad and nothing will change that. He learned anger management,etc. and we had lots of family therapy, he just can't get past his issues. Has ODD and not much else. Can control himself, but hate sme too much. Refuses to follow rules, thinks he is entitled to everything and would be content if he got what he wanted. I truly hope you have good luck, I was lucky at least I choose good placements for him and he was safe, but he will be 18 next May, I am truly scared of what will happen, he is as bad as he was at age 12. I like to hear the success stories, gives me hope. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
