[QUOTE="Fran, post: 128315, member: 3"] Again, slsh, I relate to the devastating affect that an apparent backslide does to the warrior mom's hope. A way to look at it, is he reached high and fell a little short. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) may not be a backslide but where he will regroup in an environment where it is not so emotionally exhausting to function. Let him "hole" up and recharge. What is a step back may just be a rest stop before the next step forward. I always liked the saying "Reach for the moon. Even if you fall short you get a handful of stars". He did get something from his stay outside of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Some of our kids just may never get to the point of total independence. They just can't do it. I face that every day and just keep trying to support difficult child to be the best he can within his world of ability. When he has had enough then I will accept where he is. I never want to push him into that dark world of emotional instability because we(the world) asks more than he can handle. [/QUOTE]
