[QUOTE="mollyzuzu, post: 722305, member: 21853"] Tall Robert13, you have written what we have been going through for the past 10 years or so with adopted son. He is 16 as of yesterday and currently in drug and alcohol rehab for a month. You are doing all the things you need to. Checking into schools, therapeutic centers and wilderness programs. The downside to all of these is the cost. We cannot afford these programs and are looking into trying to make son a ward of the state. We have been told off the record that the state does not "have " to accept him. We need to make sure to tell the attourney just how badly off son is and that he is a danger to himself. This would force the state to put him where he needs to be to get therapy. Our son also stole money for drugs, lies constantly, and makes up stories. The scary part is that he believe his own lies and stories. It is a long, frustrating road my friend, but you have come to the right place. These folks have gone through it all and I am sure you will find solace with someone on this board. Good luck with what you are dealing with and know that you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
