[QUOTE="DDD, post: 470854, member: 35"] RM I think the "not knowing" must be the most difficult part. I expect it will be a few months (if they do intake assessments) before you will know what his status is going to be. Obviously there is nothing you can do to influence the system at this point but I am hoping and praying that he is appropriately placed. I don't know his social skills set but if he has dealt with juvie and now jail he likely has the survival skills to make the best out of whatever comes. At least he grasps the basic rules of incarceration and isn't going in blind. Geez, that sounds awful now I reread what I typed. I don't mean it to be so negative. on the other hand difficult child's do adapt to their environment and in this case I'm hoping that it will alleviate some of your fears. The sense of loss?? That's another issue altogether but I know you will work through the process and give your best shot at enjoying the good parts of your life. You're a bright, caring woman. You can do it. Meanwhile we will all be here for you always. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
