[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 235372, member: 1233"] It certainly won't hurt to check it out. I must say that the "I don't care" from your difficult child sounds like he cares desperately and is trying not to show it. My difficult child did the same thing. Tyler even does some of it, esp about not knowing the names of the kids in his class (I think he may have a bit of face blindness). anyway, on the "God doesn't like me" issue, Wiz spent YEARS convinced we had him exorcised. When he described what he remembered, it was his BAPTISM! Catholic Church because husband is Catholic and the priest did not insist I go through confirmation. And we had my Aunt and her husband (Dad's sister and her husband) coming in to visit so we had them be the godparents. Wiz has OFTEN said that God doesn't like him because he did bad things. It is one of the things we worked on in psychiatric hospital, and at home. Not so much formal religion, as it was never worth it to force Wiz to go to church and then deal with his behavior, but we worked on the concept that God loves us in spite of our mistakes. I really think the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is worth looking into. 2-3 months may not be enough though. Can they keep him longer if he needs to stay longer? Or would they give a recommendation to another facility if he needed to stay longer? This is all tough to figure out. Sending gentle hugs and lots of support for whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
