[QUOTE="slsh, post: 256370, member: 8"] Doll - we can only do the very best that we can do. None of the decisions we make/made were with the intent to do our kids harm. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) might have worked - or not. Therapy might have worked - or not. There are no guarantees whatsoever. I think goldenguru has it right on. Or at least I hope she does, because that's all that's left for my son. 14 years of therapy, so many hospitalizations I've lost count, 9 years of Residential Treatment Center (RTC), opportunity after opportunity for my kid to learn to live with his illness, and he's thrown it all away. Absolutely breathtakingly heartbreaking - I can't even begin to tell you. His choice. There isn't a single thing I could have done differently to get a different outcome because he is utterly uninvested in his own life. Around here, it's triage time now. Save those who can be saved, who *want* to be saved. Hindsight isn't always 20/20. Please be kind to yourself. [/QUOTE]
