Hi all...... well I am woefully behind on posts... hope to catch up sometime soon. I can't believe it but I am doing this again!!!! The program my son is in now was clearly a mistake.... he is the youngest by far and with men with seriously different and worse sexual issues than he has. I get this by talking to the therapist as well as difficult child. They were going to try and come up with a treatment program for him but I really felt like he was in the wrong place. In the meantime I found what looks like a great program for him in CA... one that treats borderline personality disorder or traits, in men as well as women... and it is a residential program.
I really feel that through all this craziness there has been a shift between my son and I. Whenever I have asked him before if he wanted me to come out as he went into a new program he said he didnt care. This time I asked and he said yes he wanted me to come he wanted to see me!!! It was sincere... it is just different. Not to say he is not a difficult child and won't be an ass.... but it feels like he has made some kind of a shift.... time of course will tell.
Anyway he did the intake with them yesterday (and I talked to them and was very honest) and we are both flying out today and meeting tonight and then I will take him there tomorrow.
This may be the last time I am willing to do this.... but I feel good about he decision to do it. It feels right to me. He really really seems to want help with his mental health issues. The program also has a substance abuse component so that is not being forgotten.
So more as it happens.
