re: Looking for Parenting Tip

I wish I would have removed my child from the environment when the signs started getting critical at age 15, and placed him into an inpatient program, therapeutic boarding school, or boot camp to help him. He is grown now and doing better, but I wish he could have been spared 10+ years of pain, trial and error. My other son graduated LSU recently and has always been level-headed. Some kids are more prone and susceptible to self-destructive behavior, regardless of the parents good intentions.
