[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 22601, member: 1835"] Well, we got the anticipated call last night. Although I didn't get hit with the BIG guns (abandonment, blah, blah, blah...probably keeping that one in reserve...), he did lay on the "If you and Dad don't visit me this weekend, I don't care if I get kicked out of the program and they take me back to Juvie." Mind you, the last time we visited him, we were there for only an hour when he was gently nudging us out the door so that he could help start lunch so that they could all get going on their mini-golf outing after lunch! So, I don't believe that us not visiting him is the tragedy he's making it out to be... Now, when he actually WAS in Juvenile Hall for the first and only time, he was so frightened and anxious that he was given medication for it! He couldn't WAIT to get out and in this program and assured the intake coordinator that "I'll be the BEST kid ever!" Anyway, my response to the "why" was (thanks to you all...), "Honey, Dad and I love you, and we want you to succeed in this program, so we're going to keep doing what your easy child asks of us." To the Juvie thing, "I think that,if you think about it, you might decide that that isn't a good idea, but it's completely up to you." Now, we have to sit here, biting nails, and HOPE and pray that he doesn't sabatoge himself to "teach us a lesson"--something I think he is VERY capable of doing. [/QUOTE]
