[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 256317"] I think the boarding school/Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is a possibility... However...what about this.... First of all... Although you don't get along with your sister...is there any major concerns with her or her family? LIke drugs, alcohol, no one working in the home, abuse, etc? Would your sister have any ulterior motive for wanting your son in her house? If not... How could you bargain this? Somehow....everyone goes to family counseling and son gets to stay at sisters home without argument from you? However, you would have to make sure that your sister buys into it or there would be no hope of it happening. There might be certain advantages to having your son at her home AND going to counseling. I don't think I would want her at your sister's home if I wasn't also trying to strength my relationship with him and seeing to it that someone was watching over his mental health. Perhaps when he gets older, he will find his way back. p.s. Before I said you shouldn't "fake it." I guess sometimes you have to "fake it to you make it." LOL! Keep looking for the tools you'll need to help you during these stressful times. I remember them well. Yikes! [/QUOTE]
