For those who did Residential Treatment Center (RTC), are your kids still upset??? Even years later?

[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 8100, member: 97"] So...my question (for those of you still reading) is this: do your kids feel that Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was a waste? Do they still blame you? Do you have a relationship with your child now I feel the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) did not help ant but it did contain him and prevent him from self destructing. he was there for almoast two yrs. ant feels it was a waste, but he also knows and understands why he was sent. he has said many times how ashamed he was for how he acted and that it was all his own fault. we had no relationship from his age 18-21. he was too out of control and any contact led to arguments and broken stuff. on his 21st birthday, he called me at midnight and said he was going to overdose. I told him I could not help him. a few days later, he called, ready to come home and face jail, and all the penalties it took to get right again. that was over 2 yrs ago. he is fine now. getting more lovable daily. tell your son that when he has a grown child who is causing mayhem and about to self destruct....he can then make his own decisions on how to save his son. tell him you do not regret what you have done and that it was all caused by his own actions. no guilt.
