[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 759804, member: 22840"] I think this is so true. I can't say for sure, but I think maybe a more rural location may have worked better for my son when I sent him to a "failure to launch" program when he showed me I could not direct him into adulthood would have been better. I sent him to a place in Salt Lake City Utah, an excellent, very expensive dual diagnoses program with a strong male influence I knew my son had missed growing up. I was very concerned about his access to a good psychiatric doctor for his mental health treatment. But in my son's case that location seemed to be his downfall. My son was able to find a Mormon Bishop who believed his fictional story of lifetime abuse who bought him a bus ticket the 2000 plus miles back here. Here where my son had also been able line up a random middle aged woman who was an acquaintance of a recent girlfriend who couldn't take care of her adult self let alone anyone else. This woman said she would take him in to live in her home but really she thought he would come in and help her out. That rescue mission on her part lasted exactly two days after he landed in her lap here. Just one more nightmare in my list of experiences but I'm thinking depending on your son's ability to twist people's heart strings, cows and horses might be better acquaintances for him in the near future than people if you are considering sending him to a treatment program.
