[QUOTE="DDD, post: 492065, member: 35"] I can understand that too. It's a heck of a postion to be in and I am sorry. One aspect that I don't recall you addressing is contact. Hypothetically if difficult child goes to the GH for a year until he is 18 has anyone stipulated how much time you might spend with him? Would you be able to bring him over to your place on a visitation for a few hours if you felt safe? Would he subsequently be allowed to spend the night? Go to joint counseling with you? If visitation is included in the plan I think you might feel better with the placement. You would not have to worry about your work schedule/traveling. You would not have to stay on guard for typical teen things...or difficult child choices. You could see how he's able to adapt to school and support those goals. I imagine you could buy clothes etc. when you wanted to do so. It could be a case of looking at the glass as half full instead of half empty. on the other hand, I wish you didn't have this delima.
