[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 32670, member: 393"] Sue, In reality, do you have the "power", for lack of a better word, to draw a line anymore? difficult child is going to believe what he is going to believe. He is of an age where looking to mom & dad for guidance simply doesn't happen; especially for a difficult child. On the other hand, I know that you fear for his safety; for his lack of connecting the dots & such. While you can do your best to make sure that his environment is safe & help guide safe choices, with difficult child in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) you have so little control. And I understand your concerns - I have very little control over wm's choices - group home watches movies & t.v. that wouldn't be allowed here & that's a modest concern. The same occurred when kt was in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I had to let go of so many things... while knowing that my children were being cared for safely. As to unlimited internet access in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - that is unbelievable! Simply incredible! [/QUOTE]
