I posted this at Strugglingteens.Com and I am posting it here because I am desperate to find the right solution for my son. He has been struggling in school and he refuses to accept my new partner despite his attemts to devolop a relationship with him. My son has struggles with confidence and he is in jeopardy of losing his eligibility to play sports due to his grades. I want to have him escorted to a program but my ex refuses to agree to do that.He doesnot want to help himself.He has been particulary against me since I divorced his father. I just do not know where to turn right now. I feel like I have tried every possible option.

children, even teens need time to adjust to a new situation. I'd recommend bringing him to a psychologist. Dont expect to see a change over night from just one visit to the psychologist. Its going to take time for him to accept changes and a psychologist can help him with accepting.

It sounds like he functions fine, does his schoolwork and have healthy interests.

So there is no problem with the boy. The problem is lack of communication and accept. That is where you should intervene with counselling.

May I suggest that you leave your environment and go on a trip where you can experience challenges together. Maybe a family summer camp or even a kind of terapeutic expedition.

I have seen that anasazi has developed a 21 day long program. Normal programs are longer but only because the participent can not leave. If the terapist were doing their jobs and not looking on the financial part, even normal program would be shorter. In such family programs they have to do their best because adults can leave any time. See http://www.anasazi.org/press-12.html

The important issue are however, that you solve the problem and not a symptom of the problem. So if you choose to sent someone, it must be you all.
