[QUOTE="SRL, post: 73989, member: 701"] Janna, given the level of issues you have had with 2 of your children, I am flabergasted that you could make such a claim. Maybe you are misinterpreting the acronym? difficult child is a generic term we use here for difficult children, regardless of the label, or lack thereof. Nearly everyone who posts here long term refers to their children using the same term, including those whose children have fewer issues than yours. If your kids at various points have needed medications to function and/or avoid meltdowns, foster care, residential, and extra supports and interventions I'd guess it would be pretty safe to say that you're in the same boat with the rest of us. I'm sure that just as with every other category of providers we deal with, there are good Residential Treatment Facility (RTF)'s, bad ones, mediocre ones, as well as those that are simply not a good fit for the child in question. If you this many strong concerns about the staff, their philosophy, the type of patients/families Dylan is coming in contact with, their inability to get him medication stabilized, and the impact the place is having on him, then maybe you need to get him out of there ASAP??? It doesn't sound like you have anything positive to report and if it's a bad fit it could do more damage than help. [/QUOTE]
