[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 420212, member: 7948"] Maybe we're all just control freaks? No, I think a lot of people just cannot handle the reality of day to day life with a difficult child and it's easier for them to abandon them and rationalize it than it is to struggle with the hard choices and daily work. And some people really do have too much on their plate and this is the best they can do. If I was a single parent with several kids, more than one was a difficult child or disabled with an elderly parent to care for and no or little education? I simply could not do what I am doing now for my kids and placing one of them in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and making sure the papers were filled out - that might be the best that I could do. But I know what you mean. I remember with our difficult child 1 how so many people told us we were saints and we had gone above and beyond for him when most people would have abandoned him. We just couldn't imagine doing that to our son. Neither of us could have lived with ourselves if we had abandoned him that way. [/QUOTE]
