An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

You want your son back, so you are going to lock him away for years, far from home.  And he is the one who needs help?  Did he say to you; "I am the king of the world"?  It sounds like you have some real animosity towards your son, are you sure this is not more about you and some disagreement you had with him?  Maybe he has criticized your "parenting" one too many times?

I would never lock my son away. And we want a place we could speak with him a couple of times a week and visit often.  He didn't say "I am the king of the world?" He actually said that he doesn't want to live at home because we are big family and he doesn't want any rules in his life, he says that all he wants to do is party. He hasn't been going to school, and when he doesn't like something he destroys something in the house. We have never had an actual disagreement; however, i am disappointed with his current life choices, and he is aware of this.  I am hoping  that in a therapeutic setting that he will be home within 3 - 6 months. BTW he was charged with possession last week.

Thanks for that site, still going through it.

About my son, he has severe ODD, passive aggressive behaviour, well above average IQ, very low self esteem, anxious, with a need for control, he seems to have shut down his emotions and has a lack of empathy, he is very manipulative, and currently smoking marijuana daily.  He thinks he is the king of the world and only wants to party. I want a place to provide him the therapy that he needs, so I can have my son back.

Hi,
I am looking for a therapeutic residential school, can anyone recommend any good ones?
Is there anyplace to find the top 10 list of therapeutic boarding schools anywhere in the US or Canada?
All suggestions welcome.
