[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 241126, member: 1169"] Thanks all. I'm very, very concerned about her coming home. Those two rules are house rules -- everyone follows them. There will be a few rules from the safety plan that apply only to her, but she can't even agree to follow the rules everyone else follows!! It sounds like we may be losing our funding -- a combination of what Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is saying and stricter rules on renewing the funding. So, she is going to come home without any supports other than weekly therapy! We have tried letting her have input into the rules - but if she doesn't get 100% of her own way, she rages. She has no ability to compromise. We will, of course, go through the exercise of having her give input toward the rules and try and come up with things she can do (eg. no one else is allowed music at night as they read, but since she can't read, we will allow her to listen to music). She is also getting a tv/dvd player in her room -- something we are completely opposed to but we need it to convince her to stay in her room when necessary. My top concern is the safety of my other children. We will have just over 3 years from the day she comes home until she turns 18. That is too long to just survive, too much of their childhood has been lost to her already. Linda - I love the "stop and think", I'm going to try that with my boys as they aren't violent but so very impulsive! [/QUOTE]
