[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 446182, member: 1169"] Talked to Kanga today. When she commented about how long it had been "months", I pointed out that it had only been two weeks and if she wanted people to talk to her, she needed to be nice to them. I told her it was a simple formula: be nice on the phone = mom answers the next time you call BUT be delusional/demanding/rude = don't bother calling for a while. I also told her that we absolutely would not be discussing any home visits or contact with her sibs; that she would do best to move forward as if she was an only child. She said she 'forgot' how to do family therapy so she is concerned about our upcooming 1st session since she moved. I told her that unlike family therapy at Residential Treatment Center (RTC)-M (which focused on reunification goals) or Residential Treatment Center (RTC)-A (which focused on her violations of her safety plan), that family therapy at this Residential Treatment Center (RTC) would focus on making sure she was taking the steps she needed to take to get to independent living. I was pleasantly surprised when she expressed concern over how her therapy and medications would be paid for as an adult. I gave her an 'assignment' to get a newspaper and find out how much apartments were in her new town and what the public bus routes were. I think making FT just a chance for her to report how she is doing in her research for adult living is best. [/QUOTE]
