[QUOTE="DDD, post: 137204, member: 35"] Nice to see you again....sorry you need to come back. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have access to a fine group like those at Duke and still not have a clue. Sending hugs to you. Obviously I have no experience that would qualify me to provide an answer for your problems. on the other hand, based on many years as part of the CD family, it sounds to me as though you are grouping "residential" into one basket in fear of your daughter learning new negative behaviors etc. There are so many tiers of "residential" that I would suggest that you consider a placement like Fran had for her son some years ago. I can't remember the accurate term (I'm getting old..lol) but I think it is an Emotional Growth program. It is very expensive and often is compared to funding a college education at a quality university. It is my understanding that the staff is highly qualified and the programs are designed to lead to independent successful living. Although I have not dealt with frightening mental health issues I know from decades of experience that before you know it your "child" will be facing adulthood. Since there is no assurance that you and your husband will be able to provide her with all the help needed for her lifetime, in my humble opinion finding an alternate setting where she might be redirected makes alot of sense. Once again, I'm sorry you all are in such a maze. DDD [/QUOTE]
