[QUOTE="sushideluxe, post: 734034, member: 21956"] Hi! I just wanted to update the board on our situation. Our educational consultant sent us the names of six programs and therapists. I checkout out the websites and eliminated two. I then spoke to the admissions directors for the other four. From that my husband and I eliminated another one. Then I went over the three programs with R's therapist, explaining what I thought were the differentiating aspects of each one. With his help I eliminated another one. Then I called three references for each of the remaining two. All of the parents I spoke to were very kind and knowledgeable about the programs/therapists. With that information my husband and I chose one. It's all arranged with the program and the transport team. He will be picked up and escorted in the middle of next week. We are going out of town for Memorial Day weekend with my husband's family, which I think will be good as it will be keep us all busy. My son is actually treating us a little better, probably because we placing few demands on him and not confronting him about anything right now. Since I last updated, we found another device--this time a kindle fire--and a vape pen hidden behind a poster in his room. We took them but did not confront him. He has received several shady messages on his old snapchat (the one I have access to). One was from a kid who said R needed to pay back the money he owed by last Friday. One offering to sell him a dab (which I think is a concentrated form of pot) for $50. A few asking to buy pods. So I am fairly certain he is still engaging in this behavior and has no intention of stopping. Obviously it is a stressful time, but I am glad that everything is arranged and I am just counting down the days. Thanks for listening. [/QUOTE]
