[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 469630, member: 11001"] Thank you Janet. I don't know that I can keep fighting. I am truelly worn out. I don't even want to face our family therapist anymore. Holy cow, what can she do or say to help at this point that hasn't already been hashed and rehashed? We have had 2 good weeks. She aced every practice GED test and will take the real ones in a few weeks. They won't even tutor her anymore-told us she could get scholarships with those scores and even get into a University. She is just 17 and would be a Junior-so immature as she has spent so much time in RTCs. She is clueless about money, cant drive (we wont even consider this with her impulse issues), hated high school, trouble having friends (she wants to be too deap with them). How will she manage college? And how will we pay for college as we used all the money for Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? Should we even help as who knows if she will even go? I agree, she will some day start to apply the things she learned as the frontal cortex developes-somehow I really have hope for this, just as your son is doing now. Next week, I may want her the heck out of here. Who knows. I am just not going to fight her. We keep everything locked up-no special anything for her, just the basics and we live our life. I pray she continues to NOT break the law. I pray that she doesn't find some other sneaky way to get what she wants. Thanks for your support. [/QUOTE]
