[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 76456, member: 1545"] (((((hugs)))) I'm sorry ... I know how difficult this is. I really do. I was a basket case when our daughter left home for her Residential Treatment Center (RTC). For me, I needed to call often to make sure she was OK. I didn't talk to her, but to the staff. They were very understanding and supportive. I was a high maintenance mom ... and they really did understand. Her therapist told me that they preferred families like ours who were really involved ... to the families who just dropped kids off and were rather uninvolved after that. So, if you need to know how he is ... contact his case worker. Like the others, I found it very helpful to write. I wrote almost every day. I sent funny cards ... newspaper clippings from home, etc. My daughter really appreciated the letters and helped her feel connected to family and family life. This is just so hard. And each families journey looks a little different. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
