Did we make a mistake?

I knew when we accepted placement at the program that Loghan has gone into that it was going to be rough, I knew that the children being accepted into this program came from all walks of life, different dynamics some with families and some without, different cultures etc, I knew all of that but going in we were told that the kids would be well supervised and well looked after and that a strict behavioral regime was followed at all times.

I have spoken to Loghan every second day since he was admitted, the day he was admitted was bad Loghan was angry, he wanted out and there was absolutely nothing we could do even if we wanted to, 2 days later I was surprised to find that he sounded much more comfortable a lot more optimistic, 2 days after that he sounded both despondent and scared; I encouraged him, consoled him and got off the phone with an incredibly heavy heart. I told myself that it would be ok that we needed to see this through, it’s not like we have a choice anyway but 2 days after that ie Tuesday of this week after an hour of trying to get through which a regular occurrence the child that took my call i.e. my son was despondent, teary and absolutely miserable after some reluctant prying he told me what has been going on…. I ended up scrambling to find out who he internal social worker is… they are on leave until January and then calling the manager of the group who is not answering my emails or phone calls.

I am frustrated, I am anxious and I am honestly sitting her wondering if we actually made the right decision or if my child is going to come out of this program worse off than he went in.
