[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 112537, member: 3626"] The school paid for nada for me evem though she had an IEP. I had a choice -- send my daughter now or sue the school district. I couldn't afford both the tuition and the attorney. So, I decided my daughter was more important. After threatening disruption of the adoption, I did get the State (Adoption Services) to pay for one-third of the basic tuition. That didn't cover uniforms, therapy, field trips, basic necessities and my expenses in visiting. I took out a second mortgage on my home and worked two jobs. Ultimately, I cashed in my retirement plans, sold my stocks, sold most unnecessary assets. RTCs are financially draining even when we're lucky enough to get some assistance. There are many hidden costs. As brutal as it sounds, RTCs are not meant for the middle class. You should be either very rich or very poor. It pretty much destroys those of us in the middle. Since my daughter's issues were behavorial rather than a "true" mental illness, insurance wasn't even a consideration. [/QUOTE]
