[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 251970, member: 6747"] I admire your courage. Our local and wonderful Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was purchased by a Utah group and they introduced a new program where you only was allowed to visit your child once they reached level 3 and we both passed a seminar, which could take months. I remember a Dr. Phil show where he recommended that such a long period without parent contact person to person should be avoided, but I respect the fact that it in some cases could be necessary. I seriously considered the new program and they suggested that I could see her through a one-way window if I worried too much. Then all the news about several of their Residential Treatment Center (RTC) being by the authorities abroad closed down reached me and made me worry even more. I know that foreign countries are not so developed when it comes to therapy, but it planted a root of doubt anyway. I ended chicking out and I am somewhat ashamed that I didn't follow through. But with the help of my brother she is now going for a 3 week wilderness. I would be crying anyway, but my brother have offered me to take her in if the therapy leaves her with some of her old pattern. He is living several states away and that is a good position for me to give her some conditions for her to live by so she can return home. I have to say that I admire you so much. [/QUOTE]
