[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 753224, member: 15032"] Good for you! It's so hard for us to say no but in the end it is what THEY need. My son and I had a long talk about that just last week. He was in a faith based 13 month program. After 7 months he felt ready to come home. Obviously I said HELL NO and stuck to my original plan. I felt bad but only for a minute. He did finish the program because he knew that was the only way we would accept him back into our family. We were tired of being hurt. I'll never know if he would have done as well if I had given in and let him return home after 7 months. But I know in my heart that I did the right thing. That is all we can do. It reminds me of when they are little. Some children are out of control with their behaviors. Some parents ignore it...just because it's usually just easier in that moment. It's harder to stay on it. Discipline and follow through. This is kind of the same thing to me. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
