[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 133546, member: 1514"] In all Corys placements no one ever got him to call them Mom and Dad. One place suggested it...and some of the kids in state custody called them that...but Cory refused. I think he called them something like Mr. Jim and Miss Sue. It never caused a big problem. Now home is wherever they are sleeping for the night! Even the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and wilderness camp were HOME to him for that period of time. I even referred to them that way after awhile. Everyone seems to know which is home and which is really home. Oddly it bothered me the most when Jamie...all grown up...told us as he was getting ready to leave a visit here that it was time to go home! I felt a catch in my heart because that was the minute that I realized he truly was grown and gone. [/QUOTE]
