[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 699075, member: 15032"] Robert: My son is in an IOP program in Florida. We live in Illinois but do have a condo in Florida about 2 hours from where he is. We told him he has to graduate from that program and then he can move into sober living and go to community college in January. He says he's okay with that but now is restless. He is also above average (from testing he had done in high school when I tried to get him an IEP) intelligence and school comes easy for him. He is sick of being in the IOP but I don't care. He raised hell for 5 years on and off in our house and I'm done with all of it. He just turned 21 a few weeks ago. I still don't think he really "gets it" but I cannot do a darned thing about it. I don't put forth all my energy like I used to. We are paying his weekly rent and give him a minimum amount of money for food each week. Still in limbo but not in my house. I always said we were in limbo too so that's why when I read your post I was able to completely identify with it. My son does not seem to have much motivation although he says he wants to get a good job etc. and go to school. We've provided him with every opportunity and he always screws up. It's maddening yet heartbreaking. I don't think the professionals really know what to do with these kids either. Their kids aren't like mine. I get more input from the parents on here that have actually DEALT with it. [/QUOTE]
