[QUOTE="totoro, post: 225098, member: 3155"] Did you ask them what this was going to accomplish? Was there a goal by making him feel like he was being punished for being unstable. If they have an actual plan and it makes sense well it might be good. But if this is just some sort of, he made us mad and now we are paying him back. Sounds like childish behaviour. I agree all of our kids need to be held accountable, but they also need to be given tools and situations need to be looked at, the events that lead up to his actions. The medications, the changes he was going through. And I am sorry but the therapist's need to look at their actions as well. Just like we as parents need to look at what we might have done to make a rage worse or better. I know M is an *adult* but he is not in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) by choice. If they actually have a plan or a goal with this line of thinking then great. If it is just a punishment with nothing other than treating him like a bratty little kid and to humiliate him. I don't know if that is the best route to go with a Mentall Ill young man who has a many issues as M. You and M have decided to try this place, give it some more time. Keep asking questions. Try to stay optimistic. I know you are... He can get through, he may not get through *perfect* like all of the other kids, or what most parents would think of as perfect... but all of our kids our perfect in their own unique ways.
