[QUOTE="Jojara, post: 374413, member: 6475"] My gfg12 has lived with and gone to school with my ex-hubby since our divorce years ago. I have always been the one to have him every weekend, all days off school, and for the summers. In essence, I have never really had to do the structured/school homework stuff with him. He has been out of Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for 14 months now- and for the most part is doing much better. No more rages, and both his father and I have pretty consistently followed the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) program structure with rewards and consequences. Anyway....he has wanted to live with me and husband for years now, and in reality he spends a ton of time with us anyway. We have been working with his therapist and my ex and my husband are supportive, we have developed a schedule for when and how things will be done- rewards/consequences- difficult child has had an input and agrees....everything sounds great right???? IM SCARED TO DEATH!!!!! I feel so guilty for being scared. There is so much at stake, and it is incredibly vital to his future that I stay consistent, stay with the program, follow through, etc etc. Im totally committed to this and to him....I love this boy more than anything in the world. Does anybody else ever have doubts about their ability to parent their difficult child's? [/QUOTE]
