Rehab Trouble Already
So my AS has been in rehab 11 days and already has trouble. if he gets kicked out he is facing state YDC rehab - which is not the kind of place that is going to do him any good - its more like jail than rehab.
So his story is some kid was huffing freone from the air conditioner unit in the yard. (That alone blows my mind - what wont these kids get high on.) My AS claims he walked back there to see what the kid was doing - the kid ran off and then a counselor walked over and sees my AS standing there and determines that he must be huffing it. As far as I know he's never been into huffing but who knows - nothing really suprises me anymore.
He claims that then they brought these two kids in to talk to them and they both blame the other. He also says that the other kids who witnessed it all stood behind him saying it wasnt my son but was the other kid who was also acting messed up. Next thing you know my AS is mad, a fight starts, and he gives this other kid a black eye.
He claims that after they all talked the counselors believed him and that they arent going to throw him out but who knows what to believe. He is a pretty charming kid and has a way with adults and claims the other kid isnt getting along with the counselors so they took my son's side. This much I'm apt to believe because its actually been one of our problems - everyone likes him so much that they never wanted to turn him in. He has always gotten away with more than other kids did because of his diabetes and because adults really like him and gave him more chances then they should. My son is probably the only kid who at YDC who got letters from his vice-principal, teachers, nurses, etc. - they love him.
I got upset but controlled myself. Just told him that he knows what's going to happen if he gets thrown out and next time he gets mad that he needs to fight within himself because the consequences are going to be the loss of his freedom. I told him that when he gets mad he may not think he cares about what the consequences were but later he would regret it.
Today, I'm going to be on pins and needs everytime the phone rings - waiting to see if they toss him out. If he gets thrown out of there then our lives will yet again be in turmoil. Part of me is realistic that anytime you put a bunch of teenage boys together you're going to have a certain amount of fights but this facility is understandably clear that violence is not tolerated. He does have an anger management problem and i just pray that he doesnt blow this because of his temper. No matter whose fault it was/is he has to control himself. i wish this kid would stop sabotaging himself. I know that i have done all that i can for him getting him where he is - if he's thrown out i truly cannot protect him from the consequences.
