[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 517465, member: 11001"] Welcome-I had to make the same decision for our daughter who had a much of the same behavior only not acting out at school-just not doing well. It was at residential where we found out the root cause of her issues. We had tried everything else and nothing worked-she kept smoking pot and refused to stop. We had mixed results with both residential placements she eventually went to. She was gone a total of over 2 years. Her behaviors of running away actually got worse and she became disrespectful at home. However we did get to the bottom of the issues and she did learn some skills. Your feelings are very normal. we regretted and fretted. I promise this gets easier. It is a hard decision but you made the best one you could with the advise of professionals. In the end it is up to him to get better and to function. He may be very angry at you for awhile, but this will ease and you will feel better as his face brightens and he shows progress. Many kids do well after these placements. Keep us updated and hand in there. Remember that guilt is just worthless-it helps noone. ((Hugs)) [/QUOTE]
