[QUOTE="Suz, post: 185685, member: 29"] Hi Sanity Seeker, First of all---here's a hug. It sounds as if you could use one. Oh, and welcome, too :) I'm glad to see that you understand that your difficult child acting out now is a good thing. So many times our kids can be chameleons and make us look like we are imagining things. It's a very good thing when the honeymoon is over as it's really the first step to getting appropriate treatment. been there done that. As for school, I remember that my then-husband and I had to re-evaluate our priorities (again!) when our son went to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). We decided that academics could wait- the priority had to be Rob's mental health. If he didn't graduate from hs it wasn't anything that he couldn't accomplish later or adapt to a GED program instead. I've posted about this before, but when you've been living this life for so many years it's easy to forget how young our kids really are. There is a lot of time for change, for maturity, to learn lessons and skills. Hopefully all will survive the journey. ;) I would urge you to put in a signature so you don't have to repeat your story every time you post. It's also a way for us to keep track of who you are and what you're dealing with. Most of the parents who post in PE have kids over 18. I'd be happy to move your post to our General Forum if you like or leave it here. Just let me know. Suz [/QUOTE]
