[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 371367, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]My tweedles have been in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) 7 times between the 2 of them. Each time there was the weeping, the homesickness, the bargaining to come home. husband & I cried every time we had to admit kt or wm into phospital then onto Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Our bottom line from day one has been the safety/health in our home. When either kt or wm stepped over the line, when dangerous, out of control behaviors came into play we had to act quickly for help. You're not a bad mom ~ you're a mom who is doing one of the hardest things in her life. Putting her child in the hands of others to get that child help. Trusting "strangers" to parent, if you will, one of the most precious gifts you have been given. The hurt, the sadness will lessen, both for you & difficult child. It really will. As for working the program, it will be up to difficult child. He needs to learn cause & effect, consequences for choices made. An illness/disorder may be behind those decisions; these programs help a difficult child learn to work with that illness/disorder in life skills & choices in behaviors. It's a long road. In the meantime, work on healing yourself, your family. Take the time to enjoy the lack of danger & chaos in your home. While this placement isn't for you, you can take advantage of it. Reorganize your priorities. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
