[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 526168, member: 7170"] Sorry I should have read your post from yesterday before putting in my 2 cents worth. Don't worry I tore myself a new one on your behalf. I essentially told someone who is in the middle of a three ring circus that has center ring on fire to go take a bubble bath! UGH if you have a GROWL HUFF SNORT for me I get it, I earned it. I'm sorry and I understand; parenting was much easier when there was only one kid over here too. When the question of Residential Treatment Center (RTC) came up when Angel was 12yo I thought I was helping her (and all of us) by keeping her home; now looking back and seeing the wedge between her and her siblings and the way maintaining her stability has taken over my life I think it was the wrong decision. I thought keeping the family together was top priority; but by keeping them together I pretty much busted the family up. Sure we are still under the same roof but everyone here has their own agenda, rarely interact the way a family should. If you and husband have hit your breaking point maybe its time to find a way to get a break, whether an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or a family member who lives close enough for difficult child to get to school - something has to give. When I read your post from yesterday after replying to todays post, I imagined you felt the same way I did years ago when I screamed at a therapist "I'm too busy squashing out brush fires to take a fire prevention class!". That's about what it comes down to - its hard to come up with strategy to avoid these situations when the situation is smacking you in the face non stop. Again I apologize and please don't let my rambling stress you further. [/QUOTE]
