[QUOTE="LitlPixy, post: 156641, member: 4246"] Here's an update. difficult child was suspended twice in the same week from alternative school. She ran away the eve of second suspension. On third day police called, begging me to come get her quickly. She was giving them fits. Police called three times asking if I was on my way or lost. She and boyfriend had broken into an empty house (he tagged the walls) and were sleeping in it. Husband and I took her directly to a facility and admitted her. She's still there. I know if we bring her home she'll run again. It's definitely time for an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I'm worn out. Feel like shutting down. Trying to ward off an exacerbation (I have MS). But surprisingly I'm at peace with our decision for difficult child. We're hoping to place her before she is released from Acute Treatment so we can go from one right to another. Only problem is.......she was supposed to get her lower braces put on on the day she ran away. (She already has upper braces on.) How do we do Residential Treatment Center (RTC) with braces? I guess we'll have to drive her from Acute Care to orthodontist, slap those braces on and head to Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? *sigh* And the insurance (Tricare Prime) is driving me insane.
