[QUOTE="maril, post: 204845, member: 5937"] Good for you!!! Awhile back, my difficult children counselor told me that I cannot forbid my son from hanging with kids I feel are risky because my son would likely then sneak to see them ... good point made by the counselor ... however, in my opinion, I believe we parents can have a say as to what goes on in our house, even if it takes forbidding the kids from hanging out in the house. by the way, my difficult child, 17, sounds very, very similar to Ephchap's son as posted above. My difficult child was recently discharged from a psychiatric facility with aftercare in place, including substance abuse rehabilitation and family counseling; as well, continuing his Vyvanse (ADHD) and started on sertraline (anxiety). Diagnoses upon discharge: ADHD, ODD, marijuana use/dependence. Anyway, husband and I are looking forward to family night tonight at the program difficult child goes to. It will be our first family meeting there and hopefully husband and I will learn something. Best wishes to you and your son. I give you a big pat on the back for holding up under everything, especially since you are a single parent!!! :applause: [/QUOTE]
