[QUOTE="bran155, post: 168900"] I remember when I was in your boat, 3 years ago. I too was terrified to tell my daughter she was going into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). As soon as the facility had a bed I told her because we had to take her to tour the place and she had to have an interview, so she knew about a month before she actually went in. She was extremely mad and freaked out for a bit, however it wasn't as bad as I had expected. I think on some level she knew she needed it. You know your child best, so do what you think will make it as easy as possible for all involved. I know the feeling you have in your stomach, you just want to get it over with. Since he asked you to be up front with him maybe you should just tell him. How ever you choose to do it, just know that you are doing this for him because you love him. We as parents, have to unfortunately make these hard decisions. It stinks!!!! Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
