If I were you I wouldn't be so quick to judge other parents on how they handle their kids' problems---didn't the courts take your kids out of your control entirely???
Isn't that what you're always bitching and moaning about--that your kids were put into some kind of program by the courts and/or your ex--- without your permission???
You know---just because you were a horrible parent doesn't mean that everyone is: so don't be worrying about inconsequential things like whether some parent here refers to a child in the "third person"---as your recent clueless post is focused on
Most of us are good-enough parents---we don't have some court telling us how to raise our kids--- if we need this kind of intervention, a wilderness program or a school, and we can pay for it---we make that choice---with guidance from those whom we trust
That would not---in my books at least---include you---somebody who lost control of her own kids to "others" and who now fights a futileamd ego-driven battle to prove that those "others" made a wrong choice---you are the last person to whom I would come for guidance in raising my kids.

Good Enough Parent,
You are misrepresenting me and my situation. If it's intentional, stop. If you read that somewhere, post the link. My story is here, but it doesn't vaguely resemble your assinine comments.
Do you not have answers for the questions that have been posed, or are you ignoring them?
I don't think I'd venture to 'guide' you either. I dont' waste my time on nuts that won't crack.
Did you pay for it? Or did your school district? Did your insurance company pay for institutionalized 'parenting'? Did you take tax write offs for trips to see your 'disabled' kid?

Yep, Deb. You are a piece of work. The parenting expert!! I now remember-your axe to grind is that you didn't get to make the decisions about your kids. So-those of us who had the ability to make choices are bad parents!
We tend to speak in the third person to emphasize that we are not just speaking of our own kids, but those of many of us caring parents on the strugglingteens board.
I noticed on the Island View thread that a number of former teens believe Island View saved their lives. They are saying this here on THIS FORUM. Whoops-don't they know that this is only for people wanting to bash programs!
Deborah:
Wrong again. I don't fit into any of your pat catagories for parents who aren't on board with warehousing their kids.
FWIW, third person sound cold.... detatched.... emotionally void.... I personally think referring to your child in third person (the kid, the teen) can allow you to forget they are human beings with feelings and needs, and to subject them to all manner of inappropriate 'treatment'.
And of course, I realize it is frequently used to create bonds with other struggling parents.
Now, back to those questions. Any answers?
