[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 721424, member: 15032"] So.... Husband had a horrible time with him yesterday. He took him to Costco to get a jacket, pants and some things on the list to take. Son said he was not going so husband said then get out of the car....this was in Costco parking lot. Son got out, crying. Got back in car. In the meantime son is texting and calling me. I'm ignoring most. Ugh I have a good job and I'm at work. Thankfully boss out yesterday. The original intake guy I talked to on the phone wasn't going to be there so another guy was going to intake them. Ugh a bit worried. Husband said they got there and they had to wait 1/2 hour while they were in meetings. The whole time a church thing was on TV with music. Son pacing. Anxious. Kept going outside. Said ten more minutes and he's leaving. My husband said he was praying that our son would stay and it would work out. Finally intake guy took them in. Went over a bunch of paperwork. Husband said the guy could not have been nicer. Said he was leaving for Aruba today on a mission to set up Teen Challenge there. Wow. After some time intake guy said that if son decided not to stay we'd get our $750 back. WHHHHAAAT. Son got up and ran out with his backpack. Husband told guy he's leaving and will he please go talk to son. Husband went to the parking lot on the other end of where son was and left in the car. He said son stood there looking at him like a puppy. He drove away and called me and said it didn't go well. We know in our hearts and souls he needs this. He said he felt bad but we know he needs to change. I was upset. Not sure what to do. Self calm. Twenty minutes later the guy called and said son had settled down and was staying. Son said he was afraid and worried. Today I feel relieved. [/QUOTE]
