[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 194590, member: 3208"] Hi Steely, I agree with the others--you can do this. No, it isn't easy--and I am sorry that the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) feels they need to tell you when he is doing badly. Please try not to get on the roller coaster of emotions with him so that when he is up you are up and when he is down so are you. I know it is much easier said than done, I struggle with it a lot! I too think he is expecting you to come rescue him. If he is unmanageable enough or has to do some really tough things maybe you'll save him. I know that is what my dtr expected while at her Residential Treatment Center (RTC)--took 3 months til she understood I really was not coming to rescue her no matter how much she acted out or how much she cried on the phone about being miserable. It was one of the toughest things I had to do. In our case at least the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) warned us about this and also let us know that they could handle whatever she threw their way. You have been through so much, my heart goes out to you... Jane [/QUOTE]
