[QUOTE="keista, post: 537685, member: 11965"] Welcome! First, I'll say that I don't have direct experience with shuch a difficult child. All my information and opinions come from what I have read or seen, both on these boards and personal research. I say yes, continue with your plans for an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). You said yourself that the only way it's manageable is if you run your home like a boot camp. Unfortunately that's not fair to the other kids, and takes a huge amount of energy on your part, especially if you are not a super structured person. That's what he needs 24/7 ultra structured and supervised environment. I also believe that they younger you get such a child help, the more promising the outcome is. Unfortunately there are no guarantees for that. Welcome to the board! We don't beat each other up here. Sometimes give blunt, honest, advice or perspectives, but never any judgement. [/QUOTE]
