[QUOTE="C.J., post: 76651, member: 1987"] I am going to echo Goldenguru's comments regarding involvement. I heard the same advice when N* was at an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) this spring. The kids who have parental involvement DO BETTER. There is no guarantee, of course. It is a sad site to see kids who have been warehoused for months without a visit from a family member. One of the things I did with N* was writing in a journal that we shared. Write down some of your thoughts and concerns, ask open ended questions, and invite him to do the same. You can mail it back and forth, or you can exchange it when you see each other. It's a non-threatening way to communicate -- free of hysterics, slammed doors, walking away, etc. If he won't participate, you might keep one for yourself. [/QUOTE]
