[QUOTE="slsh, post: 582097, member: 8"] Hey Karen - been thinking of you. I know how hard this is, but I think you're doing a great job. Wanted to say that I think it's *fantastic* that therapist has your son's #. We dealt with a ridiculous number of therapists who totally bought into our difficult child's "poor pitiful me" routine - it was utterly maddening, especially in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) setting. I think it's just a really good sign that she's on top of things and is calling difficult child on his stuff. Dealing with our kids' bargaining and promises is so difficult - I think they truly mean it, but they just don't yet have the tools to follow thru yet. Hang in there. Don't know if it will help much, but my difficult child will tell anyone today that we did the very best we could for him and he has absolutely no anger or resentment towards us for going the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) route. I was just watching him this morning, as he deals with yet another major loss/disappointment, and was truly thankful for the man he is becoming. There is hope. I think it just takes some kids longer to get their compass figured out and get on track. Your heartache will fade as your son starts moving forward. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
