[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 181635, member: 3208"] Hi Bran, I know how you feel. My difficult child 1 was at an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for 8 1/2 months when she was 16 and when it was time for her to come home I was not really looking forward to it though she seemed to be doing much better. My younger dtr could tell right away that difficult child hadn't really changed though she sure talked the "talk" as if she had. It took me longer to figure it out but I think in my gut I knew it because all sorts of little red flags went up pretty quickly. I have found I love my difficult child very much but I can't live with her--think she feels the same way now. She really hasn't lived with us on a continuous basis since she was 15 with the rtcs and her living on the streets, etc. I will say though that at age 20 she seems to be able to take care of herself and is independent. We are able to have a pretty nice relationship now, I just make sure to keep my boundaries in place. Let us know how it goes, we will be here to vent to if needed and she will grow up and be out of there--you will survive somehow! Hope your little guy does okay. Jane [/QUOTE]
