[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 95087, member: 1545"] Hi LitlPixy~ Did my daughter want to go? OMG - NO. She went kicking and screaming and I mean literally. We had to phone the airlines ahead of time to warn them about what we were doing and why. We wanted them to be prepared for any drama she might create. She created plenty. It was a terrible, terrible experience. She was 15 when we sent her. Our daughter never tried to run away from this facility, although she did run once from an inpatient drug program that we tried. But, several girls did run from her program. The beauty of where my daughter was located was that it was in the middle of nothing. It was a ranch in the middle of a national forest. So, they didn't get to far before a staff member picked them up and brought them back. I understand your desire to want her close. There were many times I wished my daughter would have been closer. But, what the distance did for me was kept me from 'running' to rescue her. And it kept her from running home. The choice of a program should be done first and foremost in terms of a good fit. That is - matching your daughters needs with what the program offers. Proximity should be further down the priority list in my opinion. Have you spoken with an educational consultant? If not, it might be a good place to start. If you have further questions ... please feel free to contact me. [/QUOTE]
