[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 249952, member: 2423"] klmno, first off, big hugs. This whole situation can't be easy for you. Second, if you don't think difficult child should go to your bro's because it's detrimental, it shouldn't happen, period. End of story. Third, difficult child is 14. He has a mental illness. He shouldn't be making the decisions or calling the shots. You as the parent should be. I've never been an authoritarian parent, but husband and I are about to make some treatment decisions that our son isn't going to like. But it's too bad because he really doesn't know what he needs right now. Fourth, I'm having a hard time following the ins and outs of your case. Is Residential Treatment Center (RTC) still an option on the table? If so, that should be your goal instead of worrying about whether you or difficult child is the cause of your problems. Again, difficult child has a mental illness. He needs treatment. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
