[QUOTE="slsh, post: 141987, member: 8"] Dad, Sorry to hear things are status quo. I would recommend checking out strugglingteens.com for RTCs. Another resource would be to check your state's education department site for approved private residential schools - sometimes you can find possible programs in there. I hear your frustration and exhaustion, and I relate far too well. My son also has had medications tweaked (going on 11 years now), programs revised, consequences employed, and a whole boatload of professionals working on how to find a plan that will help him "get it". He still doesn't. Violence, noncompliance, and now a lot of suicidal ideation because his life is the pits. But *he* won't do anything to change things and persists in blaming everyone else. It's almost a stalemate and we're to the point where the priority of the day is to keep him safe and keep everyone else safe. It's incredibly disheartening. I send you and your family much empathy. I know you have all been down this road before and have really fought to get him appropriate treatment. I'm just so very sorry that your kiddo is so resistent. I hope you are able to find a placement that will meet his needs. [/QUOTE]
