[QUOTE="enzo, post: 517430, member: 13268"] We sent our difficult child to a 28 day dbt program two weeks ago, he didnt go easily, and is still protesting that he doesnt need to be there, but he is learning skills for dealing with anger, and also AA for his self medication with pot. We doubt ourselves every day, but know that we're keeping him safe and doing our best to help him help himself through medication regulation, dbt, and our next step which will be a character intensive boarding school (or wilderness depending on the next two weeks!) He's fighting us on that step too, but we're hanging tough. its very sad, but we think its better to take an elephant gun to it early, and hope that it sticks. Because after 18, its legally harder, and once they get on the wrong train at this age, it goes downhill at 80 mph. Its easy to get sucked into wanting things to be the way they were and bring them home early or avoid action entirely, but its a foolish gamble in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
