[QUOTE="witzend, post: 75461, member: 99"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: tracy551</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Now my questions..... 1. Did you ever feel, even though you love your child that you are not wanting them to come home? 2. Am I a horrible person for wanting him to stay until he turns 18 (May)? 3. Would I be wrong in putting him out once he turns 18 if things are the same? </div></div> 1) Yes. I want him to come home, but not if he has not changed. He is not welcome under the current circumstances. 2) No. That seems very reasonable. 3) No. See #1 I really believe that thy need to want to be home, and they have to show it by participating in our lives. Yours isn't. PS~ I agree with Goldenguru. You should be letting the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) know how home visits are going. It sounds as though they might rethink his level based upon what's going on. There's nothing like logical consequences levied by someone other than ourselves to get the point across to them that it's not just their idiot parents who don't know a thing... Good luck to you.
