[QUOTE="klmno, post: 481830, member: 3699"] Wow- slsh- you said exactly what I was feeling yesterday and wanted to convey to difficult child but could not find the right words. Would you mind if I took part of your words and put them in a letter to difficult child? It's firm but not giving up on him and reminding him that others are the structure, the choices are his. DDD- it's been confusing, I'm sure, for people to keep up. If difficult child goes to group home, they have a required anger management 'therapy' (no licensed MH prof there at all) that difficult child would have to go thru and I would have to participate in. No transportaion except mine involved. They PO and his super said they would give special permission for me to check difficult child out and take him to traditional, private family therapy since this program doesn't include it. (Another big thing I think re-entry programs should be thinking about.) That's what they said I'd have to transport difficult child to and from. Others here suggested trying to get them to transport him, due to concerns of explosions or running in this situation and that's a great idea- but I'm not holding my breath that they would do it because they used this as a carrot over me- they are doing me a favor by allowing me to check difficult child and take him to therapy to work on family problems. Now, when PO became very authoritative about THEM making all the decisions and saying difficult child would go to group home, he turned around and said I needed to pick difficult child at Department of Juvenile Justice facility and transport him here to group home. I put my foot down on that because I just felt I was being used a little to much. If he's going from one Department of Juvenile Justice facility to another that is ordered, then they can transport him. I do fear that difficult child would run or try to steal from me if I was transporting him under this scenario. If difficult child comes straight home, there's no way he'd run while being transported to this area. [/QUOTE]
