[QUOTE="slsh, post: 476781, member: 8"] I'd keep it simple - we have an appointment Monday so you need to stay home. It's not a lie. I understand not wanting to tell him. While thank you was 9 when he went to first Residential Treatment Center (RTC), we also didn't tell him beforehand. Actually, he was in the hospital when plans were finalized. He got discharged, came home, and we told him then that we were going to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). It happened so fast (and maybe because he was younger) that he really didn't have much chance to react - he did know what Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was. Loaded everyone back in the van and we were off. Second 2 times, he went straight from hospital to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). My heart is with you - I know how incredibly difficult this is, but I also hope that it will be the beginning of some forward progress and many good things for your difficult child. Gentle hugs.
