[QUOTE="slsh, post: 235244, member: 8"] JJJ, Had to chuckle - contact gov's office, LOL!!! :rofl: Seriously though.... sigh. It's so hard because if you don't allow sib visits, you get slammed, but if you do then you have to deal with- the fallout from that. Personally, at one point forcing sib visits with- thank you was tantamount to abuse of sibs in my humble opinion. But getting Residential Treatment Center (RTC) staff to understand that is hard. To this day, I still say adamantly "no" when family therapy is suggested. husband and I might consider participating (esp if thank you ends up back home) but sibs' participation is based on their wishes, period. I won't ever force that again. I'm stunned they're talking discharge, especially since there have been no home visits must less contact with- sibs. I suggest getting the home visits started - I know you think she isn't ready but the only way Residential Treatment Center (RTC) has a chance of getting it is to see her in action. I'd ask for support staff to be available if there's a problem - either thru county or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (preferrably Residential Treatment Center (RTC)). Have they started on a discharge plan? If not, that needs to be done. I've heard the county has more resources than last time thank you was home but.... Residential Treatment Center (RTC) needs to understand that "more" isn't much and we live in a service-wasteland. That has to be considered when they're talking discharge. To say nothing of the education situation, etc. If worse comes to worse, go to the head of ICG. He's very receptive and helpful, you know. Just out of perverse curiosity, what makes Residential Treatment Center (RTC) think she's ready? Hang in there. At the very least, you have the grant in place now. It's a huge safety net. [/QUOTE]
