[QUOTE="cakewalk, post: 296207, member: 7060"] To clarify, difficult child was not sent anywhere. He wanted out of my house. He destroyed my home, severely injured himself and then called the police and CPS and blamed my husband. It was only after he got tripped up in a lie that the police recommended boot camp. CPS sent a family counselor every week to help the rest of us deal with difficult child. The rules were tough, the screws were tightened. difficult child hated everything to do with us that he would punch walls, hurt himself, swear, break things, and eventually run away... to my sister's house. I'd go and pick him up, he'd come home more angry than when he ran. After the worst five days of my life (in February), he ran away for the last time because I chose not to go get him. I filed a runaway report. I canceled his drivers license and insurance. I contacted the school and filled them in, etc. Since he left, communication has been limited. He called me to invite me to Mother's Day breakfast (which I proudly posted on a thread) only to find out he had emancipation papers for me to sign. I didn't. He told me he'd see me in court. My sister wanted me to sign over guardianship to her. I refused. I haven't spoken with my sister since March. He is only participating in counseling because I refused to sign his sport enrollment forms unless he attended. The first two weeks I drove him to counseling, he didn't speak to me. Only in the last 4 weeks or so has he been nice. All of you are right! I have no idea what is going on and I slipped back into timid mode when he called last night. I didn't ask the questions. He has not made any amends with my husband. His brother does not want him back here. Our home is happy. Our family is healthy. Nothing has changed with difficult child, except he is on the run again. This time back here and I stupidly said, "Okay" last night because I didn't know what else to say. Monday is his appointment. I have never spoken with this counselor. I only picked him based on his experience with teen boys. I will ask to be in the session. And, I will tell my son that he can't come home right now. I don't for the life of me think anything has changed with him. The three of us haven't changed (except we feel safe in our house now) so what makes me think this would work because he's had four healthy sessions with a therapist and is now being nice to me? I appreciate the kick in the pants. [/QUOTE]
