[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 422916, member: 11001"] First welcome-I'm sorry you have to join us but it is a good place. All the decisions you are having to make are so difficult. I had to make them as well but for only my daughter so I can't speak to the twin issue except to say, I would deal with them as individuals. I sent my daughter to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) when she was 14. She was experimenting with pot but was stuggling with school , despite being gifted. We had tried counseling and depression medications to no result. After a huge amount of money and 18 months, she came out and is worse than ever.( A lot of faking it to get out as well) She has gotten court involved and is again headed to a more appropriate Residential Treatment Center (RTC) with DBT therapy. The good thing about the first Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was that we finially found out about some past abuses that were causing her mental illness and behavioral changes. Have you tried getting a school tracker for your one boy? What help will they offer him at school? Boys can be very agressive and hard for moms to handle, I have read that on posts at this site. I dont have this experience so hopefully someone will respond that knows. What diagnosis have you obtained? How is their relationship with their father? Do they take any medications? Sometimes at this age they have to hit rock bottom to finially respong to help. Many members find support as parents going to 12 step meeting. I go to NAMI meeting as mental health is our issue. More information might be helpful. [/QUOTE]
