[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 279859, member: 2459"] What about WHAT??? Don't leave us hanging here woman! LOL Much as I'd like to pull your husband's head out of his nether regions, I feel bad for the guy. It sounds like he's finally starting to come out of his denial and it can't be easy or pain free for him. But you know, if your difficult child was physically ill, there would be no question of getting him to the doctor or putting him in the hospital for treatment. Stress this to your husband. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT. He needs treatment of some sort and you are getting him WHAT HE NEEDS. As for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), I don't personally have experience with it even though I wished I had. But, I do know that a lot of kids in these places have families that aren't always as involved with their kids as you guys are with your difficult child. The staff isn't always used to active parents. My advice is to be as involved and willing as possible. Do your research on available Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s (sounds like you've started), discuss it with the counselor and/or other professionals and see what they recommend. Once you find a placement, read your parent rights and make sure you know what you are allowed and expected to do. Be aware of the treatment plan, the Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s expectations, testing, medication if warranted...basically anything they do, make sure communication is the key. To my knowledge, they can't do a whole lot without your permission...testing, medicating, things like that. Just let them know that you want what's best for your child and you are all willing to work with them. I'm sure you'll get better advice from someone who has been there so take what I've said with a grain of salt. All in all though, it sounds like you all are headed in the right direction for this boy and I hope things can get worked out soon. [/QUOTE]
